O Object() (Function) Object() (Function) An Object object constructor. Object(aValue) - aValue A value to be stored in the new object. Argument list: The Object Constructor can be called as a function. When this happens, the value passed in undergoes a type conversion. In an ECMA-compliant implementation, the Object constructor function uses the ToObject conversion. However it handles input values undefined and null as special cases and creates a new object as if the constructor had been used with the new operator. The table summarizes the results based on the input value data types.
