Cleanest format for writing javascript objects

Question

What is the cleanest format for writing javascript objects?

Currently I write mine in the following format

if (Namespace1 == null) var Namespace1 = {};
i

The module pattern may help you out here:

 var Namespace1 = Namespace1 || {};
    Namespace1.Namespace2 = Namespace1.Namespace2 || {};

    Namespace1.Namespace2.Class1 = function(param1, param2) {
        // define private instance variables and their getters and setters
        var privateParam = param1;
        this.getPrivateParam = function() { return privateParam; }
        this.publicParam1 = param2;

        return {
            init: function() {
                alert('hi from Class1');
            }
        }
    } ();
