+
+<p>The <code>Object</code> constructor creates an object wrapper for the given value. If the value is {{jsxref("null")}} or {{jsxref("undefined")}}, it will create and return an empty object, otherwise, it will return an object of a Type that corresponds to the given value. If the value is an object already, it will return the value.</p>
+
+<p>When called in a non-constructor context, <code>Object</code> behaves identically to <code>new Object()</code>.</p>

+
+<p>All objects in JavaScript are descended from <code>Object</code>; all objects inherit methods and properties from {{jsxref("Object.prototype")}}, although they may be overridden. For example, other constructors' prototypes override the <code>constructor</code> property and provide their own <code>toString()</code> methods. Changes to the <code>Object</code> prototype object are propagated to all objects unless the properties and methods subject to those changes are overridden further along the prototype chain.</p>

+<h2 id="Deleting_a_property_from_an_object">Deleting a property from an object</h2>
+
+<p>There isn't any method in an Object itself to delete its own properties (e.g. like <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map/delete">Map.prototype.delete()</a></code>). To do so one has to use the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/delete">delete operator</a>.</p>
