/**
* Creates a deep clone of the provided object.
*
* This function attempts to use the `structuredClone` method if available.
* If `structuredClone` is not supported, it falls back to using
* `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify())`.
*
* @param {*} obj - The object to be cloned. Can be of any type.
* @returns {*} A deep clone of the input object.
*
* @throws {TypeError} If the object contains values that JSON cannot serialize
* (e.g., functions, undefined) when falling back to
* JSON methods.
*
* @example
* const original = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
* const clone = cloneObject(original);
* console.log(clone); // { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } }
* console.log(original === clone); // false

// The JSON method doesn't handle all JavaScript types correctly and may cause unexpected behavior.
// At the moment structuredClone has good adoption across browsers https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_structuredclone
// and is the preferred method for cloning objects.
//
// We can consider implementing a more robust fallback method in the future if we find users are running into issues.
