Copying an Object in Javascript

If I have this

var a = {};
a.test1 = 1;
a.test2 = 2;

and then I do

var b = a;

b.test1 = 5;

I don't want that a.test1 also changes. How can I get a new reference or object ?

Please not that `b` is a new reference to the object that `a` references. Your question title is the opposite of what you are looking for — Shad, Mar 07 '12 at 23:55

You should create object yourself and copy all properties of original object to it.
