Function objToString

The objToString() method returns a string representing the object. This explicitly always calls the Object.prototype.toString() method.

An object's toString() method is most commonly invoked when that object undergoes:

• explicit type conversion to a string (for example, String(myObject))
• implicit type coercion into a string (for example, myObject + "hello world")

Example

objToString(new Date()); // [object Date]
objToString(new String()); // [object String]

// Math has its Symbol.toStringTag
objToString(Math); // [object Math]

objToString(undefined); // [object Undefined]
objToString(null); // [object Null]
