根据Apple JavaScript编码指南：

// Create an inner object with a variable x whose default
// value is 3.
function innerObj()
{
        this.x = 3;
}
innerObj.prototype.clone = function() {
    var temp = new innerObj();
    for (myvar in this) {

        // use the lightweight copy code.

    }
    return temp;
}

// Create an outer object with a variable y whose default
// value is 77.
function outerObj()
{
        // The outer object contains an inner object.  Allocate it here.
        this.inner = new innerObj();
        this.y = 77;

        } else {
            // This variable contains a scalar value,
            // a string value, or an object with no
            // clone function.  Assign it directly.

如果对象中没有循环依赖关系，我建议使用其他答案之一或jQuery的复制方法，因为它们看起来都很有效。

如果存在循环依赖关系（即，两个子对象彼此链接），那么你就有点糟糕了，因为（从理论角度）没有办法优雅地解决这个问题。

在ECMAScript 6中有Object.assign方法，它将所有可枚举自身财产的值从一个对象复制到另一个对象。例如：

var x = {myProp: "value"};
var y = Object.assign({}, x); 

但请注意，这是一个浅层复制-嵌套对象仍然作为引用复制。

// creates 'clone' method on context object
//
//  var 
//     clon = Object.clone( anyValue );
//
