Object in ECMAScript 262

A generic object.

Inerhited by:

Instance Properties

name	type	description
prototype	Object	The prototype for a class.
constructor	Object	A reference to the constructor class for the current object instance.

Instance Methods

name	returns	description
toLocaleString()	String	For most objects, the same as `toString()` unless explicitly overridden.
valueOf()	String	Returns the internal `this` value of the object.
hasOwnProperty()	Boolean	Determines if the object/instance itself has the named property or method.
isPrototypeOf()	Boolean	Determines if the calling object prototype is in the inheritance chain for the supplied argument.
propertyIsEnumerable()	Boolean	Determines if the object/instance itself has a property or method of the supplied name which will appear in a `for (prop in obj)` enumeration.
toString()	String	Returns a string representation of the object.

Description

All other objects in ECMAScript inherit from this object class, and a generic object can be made which supports these features. Custom object instances may be created using either the var foo = new Object() constructor or the Object literal var foo = {}. The latter is not only less characters, but it is faster as well. Using the object literal notation, you may also specify properties (and methods) of the instance on the fly. Property and method names which are reserved keywords or which are not valid identifiers must be quoted:

var foo = {
     name : 'Bob',
     age : 12,
     cars : [ 'Mustang','Accord' ],
     "class" : "Middle Class",
     sellCar : function(){ this.cars.length-- },
     toString : function(){ return "Hi, my name is Bob!" }
};
