I was trying to understand what the relationship is between the global object in javascript and all the other built-in object. As I understand everything in javascript is in the Object object, also the global object. At least it seems that way when I'm using these commands:

console.log(globalThis.__proto__.constructor) // Window() console.log(globalThis.__proto__.__proto__.constructor) // WindowProperties() console.log(globalThis.__proto__.__proto__.__proto__.constructor) // EventTarget console.log(globalThis.__proto__.__proto__.__proto__.__proto__.constructor) // Object

Is this correct?

Most things in JS is an object. Window is the global object. Window is not the same as Object. – evolutionxbox Sep 09 '20 at 11:45
I'm still not sure what you're asking. `globalThis.__proto__.__proto__.__proto__.__proto__.constructor === Object // true` and `globalThis === Object // false` so they're not the same. – evolutionxbox Sep 09 '20 at 20:02

The question is if the global object is a part of the object object. – Janus Sep 11 '20 at 08:04
The global object is an instance of “Object”. In JS terms Object is the end prototype of the global object. – evolutionxbox Sep 11 '20 at 12:30
Thanks, that was also what I imagined. – Janus Sep 12 '20 at 18:18
