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) {
        // this object does not contain any objects, so
        // use the lightweight copy code.
        temp[myvar] = this[myvar];
    }
    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;
}
outerObj.prototype.clone = function() {
    var temp = new outerObj();
    for (myvar in this) {
        if (this[myvar].clone) {
            // This variable contains an object with a
            // clone operator.  Call it to create a copy.
            temp[myvar] = this[myvar].clone();
        } else {
            // This variable contains a scalar value,
            // a string value, or an object with no
            // clone function.  Assign it directly.
            temp[myvar] = this[myvar];
        }
    }
    return temp;
}

// Allocate an outer object and assign non-default values to variables in
// both the outer and inner objects.
outer = new outerObj;
outer.inner.x = 4;
outer.y = 16;

// Clone the outer object (which, in turn, clones the inner object).
newouter = outer.clone();

// Verify that both values were copied.
alert('inner x is '+newouter.inner.x); // prints 4
alert('y is '+newouter.y); // prints 16

为了更好地理解对象的复制，这个示例性的jsbin可能很有用

class base {
  get under(){return true}
}

class a extends base {}

const b = {
  get b1(){return true},
  b: true
}

console.log('Object assign')
let t1 = Object.create(b)
t1.x = true
const c = Object.assign(t1, new a())
console.log(c.b1 ? 'prop value copied': 'prop value gone')
console.log(c.x ? 'assigned value copied': 'assigned value gone')
console.log(c.under ? 'inheritance ok': 'inheritance gone')
console.log(c.b1 ? 'get value unchanged' : 'get value lost')
c.b1 = false
console.log(c.b1? 'get unchanged' : 'get lost')
console.log('-----------------------------------')
console.log('Object assign  - order swopped')
t1 = Object.create(b)
t1.x = true
const d = Object.assign(new a(), t1)
console.log(d.b1 ? 'prop value copied': 'prop value gone')
console.log(d.x ? 'assigned value copied': 'assigned value gone')
console.log(d.under ? 'inheritance n/a': 'inheritance gone')
console.log(d.b1 ? 'get value copied' : 'get value lost')
d.b1 = false
console.log(d.b1? 'get copied' : 'get lost')
console.log('-----------------------------------')
console.log('Spread operator')
t1 = Object.create(b)
t2 = new a()
t1.x = true
const e = { ...t1, ...t2 }
console.log(e.b1 ? 'prop value copied': 'prop value gone')
console.log(e.x ? 'assigned value copied': 'assigned value gone')
console.log(e.under ? 'inheritance ok': 'inheritance gone')
console.log(e.b1 ? 'get value copied' : 'get value lost')
e.b1 = false
console.log(e.b1? 'get copied' : 'get lost')
console.log('-----------------------------------')
console.log('Spread operator on getPrototypeOf')
t1 = Object.create(b)
t2 = new a()
t1.x = true
const e1 = { ...Object.getPrototypeOf(t1), ...Object.getPrototypeOf(t2) }
console.log(e1.b1 ? 'prop value copied': 'prop value gone')
console.log(e1.x ? 'assigned value copied': 'assigned value gone')
console.log(e1.under ? 'inheritance ok': 'inheritance gone')
console.log(e1.b1 ? 'get value copied' : 'get value lost')
e1.b1 = false
console.log(e1.b1? 'get copied' : 'get lost')
console.log('-----------------------------------')
console.log('keys, defineProperty, getOwnPropertyDescriptor')
f = Object.create(b)
t2 = new a()
f.x = 'a'
Object.keys(t2).forEach(key=> {
  Object.defineProperty(f,key,Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(t2, key))
})
console.log(f.b1 ? 'prop value copied': 'prop value gone')
console.log(f.x ? 'assigned value copied': 'assigned value gone')
console.log(f.under ? 'inheritance ok': 'inheritance gone')
console.log(f.b1 ? 'get value copied' : 'get value lost')
f.b1 = false
console.log(f.b1? 'get copied' : 'get lost')
console.log('-----------------------------------')
console.log('defineProperties, getOwnPropertyDescriptors')
let g = Object.create(b)
t2 = new a()
g.x = 'a'
Object.defineProperties(g,Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(t2))
console.log(g.b1 ? 'prop value copied': 'prop value gone')
console.log(g.x ? 'assigned value copied': 'assigned value gone')
console.log(g.under ? 'inheritance ok': 'inheritance gone')
console.log(g.b1 ? 'get value copied' : 'get value lost')
g.b1 = false
console.log(g.b1? 'get copied' : 'get lost')
console.log('-----------------------------------')

使用默认值（历史上特定于nodejs，但由于现代JS，现在可以从浏览器中使用）：

import defaults from 'object.defaults';

const myCopy = defaults({}, myObject);

使用Lodash：

var y = _.clone(x, true);

A.Levy的答案几乎是完整的，这是我的一点贡献：有一种方法可以处理递归引用，请看下面这行

如果（this[attr]==this）copy[attr]=复制；

如果对象是XMLDOM元素，则必须改用cloneNode

if（this.cloneNode）返回this.clone节点（true）；

受A.Levy的详尽研究和Calvin的原型设计方法启发，我提供了以下解决方案：

Object.prototype.clone = function() {
  if(this.cloneNode) return this.cloneNode(true);
  var copy = this instanceof Array ? [] : {};
  for(var attr in this) {
    if(typeof this[attr] == "function" || this[attr]==null || !this[attr].clone)
      copy[attr] = this[attr];
    else if(this[attr]==this) copy[attr] = copy;
    else copy[attr] = this[attr].clone();
  }
  return copy;
}

Date.prototype.clone = function() {
  var copy = new Date();
  copy.setTime(this.getTime());
  return copy;
}

Number.prototype.clone = 
Boolean.prototype.clone =
String.prototype.clone = function() {
  return this;
}

另请参见答案中的Andy Burke注释。

如果你对一个浅拷贝没有问题，underscore.js库有一个克隆方法。

y = _.clone(x);

或者你可以像

copiedObject = _.extend({},originalObject);
