Something like jQuery.extend() but standalone?

Question

I\'m looking for a way to merge two configuration objects together, something like:

var developmentConfig = {
  url: \"localhost\",
  port: 80
};

var produc

One more example of simple standalone function for future pilgrims across this question with protection from merge of the properties of different types:

function extend(obj) {
    Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1).forEach(function(source) {
        if (source) {
            for (var prop in source) {
                if (source[prop].constructor === Object) {
                    if (!obj[prop] || obj[prop].constructor === Object) {
                        obj[prop] = obj[prop] || {};
                        extend(obj[prop], source[prop]);
                    } else {
                        obj[prop] = source[prop];
                    }
                } else {
                    obj[prop] = source[prop];
                }
            }
        }
    });
    return obj;
}

Usage:

extend({ name:'Maria', address:{ city:'Moscow', street:'Lenina str, 52' } }, { name:'Marianna', address:{ zip:1200003 }})
=> { name:'Marianna', address:{ city:'Moscow', street:'Lenina str, 52', zip:1200003 } }
