getobject is a lightweight JavaScript library simplifying retrieval of nested object properties using a dot-notation string path. It gracefully handles potentially missing or undefined intermediate properties, returning a default value if the path is invalid, preventing common 'undefined' errors. The package helps write more robust and concise code when working with complex JavaScript objects, improving readability and maintainability by avoiding verbose conditional checks. It's ideal for configurations and dynamic data structures.
