Javascript object creation using literals vs custom constructor functions

Question

I understand that there are multiple ways to create an object in javascript and I have been reading that object literal syntax is generally preferred. (Correct?)

Wha

Answer 1

The discussion usually is about to prefer

var myObject = {};

over

var myObject = new Object();

If you however create your own constructor functions you are perfectly allowed to instantiate them with the new keyword, nothing controversial there.
