JS Beautifier vs Underscore: What are the differences?

JS Beautifier: Beautify, unpack or deobfuscate JavaScript and HTML, make JSON/JSONP readable, etc. This little beautifier will reformat and reindent bookmarklets, ugly JavaScript, unpack scripts packed by Dean Edward’s popular packer, as well as deobfuscate scripts processed by javascriptobfuscator.com; Underscore: JavaScript's utility _ belt. A JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects.

JS Beautifier and Underscore can be categorized as "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" tools.

JS Beautifier and Underscore are both open source tools. Underscore with 24.6K GitHub stars and 5.41K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than JS Beautifier with 6.29K GitHub stars and 1.1K GitHub forks.

Decisions about JS Beautifier and Underscore

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) provides standard data objects in JSON format for the healthcare industry. Since JSON objects are hierarchical and tree-like, we had a need to defensively 'pluck' fields from our JSON objects and do lots of mapping. We tried jQuery and Underscore and a few other technologies like FHIRPath; but Lodash has been the most well supported, works in the most contexts, has the cleanest syntax, etc. We particularly like the ES6 version of Lodash, where we can import the method names directly, without resorting to * or _ syntax. We got hooked on the 'get' function to defensively pluck fields from objects without crashing our user interface, and have found countless uses for the other lodash functions throughout our apps. Lodash is great for developing and optimizing algorithms.
