Similar packages

Other packages similar to isobject

lodash.isplainobject

Similar to `isobject`, `lodash.isplainobject` checks if a value is a plain object, that is, an object created by the Object constructor or one with a [[Prototype]] of `null`. It differs from `isobject` by specifically checking for plain objects, whereas `isobject` is more general in its check for any object type.

is-plain-object

This package offers functionality similar to `lodash.isplainobject` and is focused on identifying plain objects. It's a more specialized check compared to `isobject`, which does not differentiate between plain objects and other object types like `Date` or `RegExp` instances.
