Object

Object() is a constructor that creates objects, for example:

>>> var o = new Object();

This is the same as using the object literal:

>>> var o = {}; // recommended

You can pass anything to the constructor and it will try to guess what it is and use a more appropriate constructor. For example, passing a string to new Object() will be the same as using the new String() constructor. This is not a recommended practise, but still possible.

>>> var o = new Object('something');
>>> o.constructor

String()

>>> var o = new Object(123);
>>> o.constructor

Number()

All other objects, built-in or custom, inherit from Object. So the properties and methods discussed below apply to all types of objects.
