The object-assign package is a polyfill for the Object.assign() method, which copies enumerable and own properties from source objects to a target object. It is similar to extend-shallow but is designed to mimic the behavior of the native JavaScript method.
lodash.assign is a method from the Lodash library that assigns own enumerable properties of source objects to the destination object. It is similar to extend-shallow but comes with the additional utility functions provided by Lodash.
deep-extend is similar to extend-shallow but, as the name suggests, performs a deep extend, meaning that it recursively copies property values that are objects, resulting in a deep clone of the source objects' properties.
