npm install plain-object
const plainObject = require("plain-object");
plainObject({

//=> { one: '1' }
plainObject({
a: {
a: true,
b: {

//=> { a: true, b: Map { } }'
// Given a "weird" structure like this:

one: {
one: "1",
two: {
two: true,
three: {
three: 1,
four: {
four: [1, 2, 3],
five: {
five: new Date(),

six: function () {
return "seven";
},
seven: {
seven: new Map(),
eight: {
eight: new Set(),
nine: {
nine: BigInt(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER + 1),
ten: {
ten: Symbol("Sym"),
eleven: {
eleven: Buffer.from("ftonato", "utf-8"),
twelve: {

thirteen: {
thirteen: new Promise((resolve) => resolve(true)),

// You will get this simple and clean object:
//=> { one: '1',
//=> two: true,
//=> three: 1,
//=> four: [ 1, 2, 3 ],
//=> five: Wed Mar 02 2022 20:04:04 GMT+0000 (Western European Standard Time),
//=> six: [λ: six],
//=> seven: Map { },
//=> eight: Set { },
//=> nine: 1,
//=> ten: Symbol(Sym),
//=> eleven: <Buffer 66 74 6f 6e 61 74 6f>,
//=> twelve: /[A-Za-z0-9_]/,
//=> thirteen: Promise { true } }
