Deep Copy in Node JS without using any external packages

Using v8 on Noe JS you can deep copy object without using any external packages. Here is an example

const v8 = require("v8")

const obj = {
    status: "verified",
    profile: {
        name: "John Doe",
        email: "[e-mail]",
        phone: "123-456-7890"
    }
}

const deepCopiedObj = v8.deserialize(v8.serialize(obj))

Now this looks similar to JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)) but the internal workings are different.

Is v8 is external package?

No it's a core package of nodejs

So.... Why not just use JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)) then?

Their working are different
