However, when you are targeting modern browsers, you may find out that there are many methods which are already supported natively thanks to ECMAScript5 [ES5] and ECMAScript2015 [ES6]. If you want your project to require fewer dependencies, and you know your target browser clearly, then you may not need Lodash/Underscore. You are welcome to contribute with more items provided below. - If you are targeting legacy JavaScript engine with those ES5 methods, you can use [es5-shim](https://github.com/es-shims/es5-shim) - Please note that, the examples used below are just showing you the native alternative of performing certain tasks. For some functions, Lodash provides you more options than native built-ins. This list is not a 1:1 comparison. - Please send a PR if you want to add or modify the code. No need to open an issue unless it’s something big and you want to discuss. ## Voice of Developers > [Make use of native JavaScript object and array utilities before going big.](https://twitter.com/codylindley/status/692356631007342593) > —Cody Lindley, Author of [jQuery Cookbook](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596159788.do) and [JavaScript Enlightenment](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920027713.do) > [You probably don’t need Lodash.

Install the plugin … npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-you-dont-need-lodash-underscore … then update your config “extends” : [“plugin:you-dont-need-lodash-underscore/compatible”], For more information, see [Configuring the ESLint Plugin](https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Underscore/blob/master/configuring.md) Important Note that, while many Lodash methods are null safe (e.g. \_.keys, \_.entries), this is not necessarily the case for their Native equivalent. If null safety is critical for your application, we suggest that you take extra precautions [e.g. consider using the native `Object.keys` as `Object.keys(value || {})`]. ## Quick Links **[Array](https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Underscore#array)** 1.
