A close sibling is Object.values(), which returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property values. A close sibling is Object.entries(), which returns an array of key/value pairs. A close sibling is Object.assign(), which copies properties from source objects to a target. More about this category: Object methods for object manipulation — keys, values, assign, and more.
