why choose spread operator over other functions in javascript code example

Example 1: spread operator in javascript

// spread operators can be used for arrays or objects

// cloning to prevent mutation.
let numList = [1,2,3];
let numListClone = [...numList]; // [1, 2, 3]

// spread operator for destructuring.
let animal = {
  name: 'dog',
  color: 'brown',
  age: 7
};
let { age, ...otherProperties } = animal; 

// spread operator as rest operator
function sum(x, y, ...rest) {}

// spread operator for merging arrays or objects
let numLists = [...numList1, ...numList2];
let animalWithBreed = {
  ...animal,
  breed: '',
}

Example 2: spread operator javascript

obj = {first_name : "Marty",
    lovers: ["Jennifer Parker","Baines McFly"]
      };
let objClone = { ...obj }; // pass all key:value pairs from an object 

console.log(objClone)
// { first_name: "Marty", lovers: ["Jennifer Parker", "Baines McFly"] }
