Cloning a json object and changing values mutates the original object as well

Question

I was wondering why does this happen?

I have an json object stored in var myObj:

var myObj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(\'json/data.json\', \'utf8\')         


        

Answer 1

If you use jQuery, then you can do this

var mobObj = jQuery.extend(true, {}, myObj);

else try this

var mobObj = Object.assign({}, myObj);
