Bare object with no prototype

How to create a bare clean object with no prototype?

I don't understand what you mean. Everything in Javascript has a prototype. A bare object would be:

var a = new Object();

It's going to inherit everything that's in the Object()'s prototype.

I don't want to inherit standard .toString() and other functions. I want the object to be perfectly clean.

I guess you'll have to make a new type of object for that.I can't be sure this will work for all browsers:

function BareObject() {  this.toString = null;  this.constructor = null;  this.toLocaleString = null;  this.valueOf = null;  this.hasOwnProperty = null;  this.isPrototypeOf = null;  this.propertyIsEnumerable = null;}var a = new BareObject();

But why do you want an object without a prototype? I can't imagine any situation where you would need it. You can always override any methods you want to.

I got it. Object.create(null)
