I use this way(also working in ECMAScript 3):-

function customCreateObject(p) {
   if (p == null) throw TypeError(); // p must be a non-null object
   if (Object.create)  // If Object.create() is defined...
     return Object.create(p);  // then just use it.
   var t = typeof p; // Otherwise do some more type checking
   if (t !== "object" && t !== "function") throw TypeError();
    function f() {}; // Define a dummy constructor function.
   f.prototype = p; // Set its prototype property to p.
   return new f(); // Use f() to create an "heir" of p.
}

var obj = { eid: 1,name:'Xyz' };
customCreateObject(obj);
