How to merge two json objects?

[djiao]

I have two json object

config1 = {
title: "title",
author: "jon"
}

config2 = {
content: "abc",
publisher: "cde"
}

How can I merge them easily?

Thank you!

var
    i;
for(i in config2)
    config1[i]=config2[i];

the above code will drege up prototypes, which you probably don't want.

try this for an easy way to merge without duping prototype members:

Object.prototype.merge = (function (ob) {var o = this;var i = 0;for (var z in ob) {if (ob.hasOwnProperty(z)) {o[z] = ob[z];}}return o;})

usage:

var a = {a:1}
var b = {b:2}

var c = a.merge(b); // === {a:1,b:2}

The only object in the prototype chain is Object.prototype. If anyone modifies this, their code is likely to break other code. The Prototype library did this but had to change that a while back. Most other commonly used libraries duck the whole issue by refraining from modifying built-in prototypes. It's not likely to be a problem, in other words.
