Lodash and Underscore are great modern JavaScript utility libraries, and they are widely used by Front-end developers. 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.
