Objects, Classes, and Object‐Oriented Programming

Abstract

ECMA-262 defines an object as an unordered collection of properties. Strictly speaking, this means that an object is an array of values in no particular order. ECMA-262 describes characteristics of properties using internal-only attributes. These attributes are defined in the ECMAScript specification and implemented in JavaScript engines, but they are not directly accessible in JavaScript. There are two types of properties: data properties and accessor properties. The Object class includes a hefty number of static methods used for inspecting and manipulating objects. Since all non-primitives in JavaScript inherit from Object, these can be used on any object. The concept most often discussed in relation to object-oriented programming is inheritance. Many object-oriented languages support two types of inheritance: interface inheritance, where only the method signatures are inherited, and implementation inheritance, where actual methods are inherited.
