Underscore.js is a JavaScript utility library that provides helper functions for common programming tasks like iterating over collections, manipulating arrays and objects, and functional programming patterns (map, filter, reduce), without extending built-in JavaScript objects. Front-end developers have used it, especially in older codebases, to simplify code before many of its features were adopted into native JavaScript or replaced by libraries like Lodash.
