Cloning an Object in Node.js

obj2.x = 6;

There is also a project on Github that aims to be a more direct port of the jQuery.extend():

https://github.com/dreamerslab/node.extend

An example, modified from the jQuery docs:

var extend = require('node.extend');

var object1 = {
    apple: 0,
    banana: {
        weight: 52,
        price: 100
    },
    cherry: 97
};

var object2 = {
    banana: {
        price: 200
    },
    durian: 100
};

var merged = extend(object1, object2);
