Reflect.getPrototypeOf()

The Reflect.getPrototypeOf() static method is like Object.getPrototypeOf(). It returns the prototype of the specified object.

Reflect.getPrototypeOf() provides the reflective semantic of retrieving the prototype of an object. The only difference with Object.getPrototypeOf() is how non-object targets are handled. Reflect.getPrototypeOf() throws a TypeError if the target is not an object, while Object.getPrototypeOf() coerces it to an object.

Reflect.getPrototypeOf() invokes the [[GetPrototypeOf]] object internal method of target.

Return value: The prototype of the given object, which may be an object or null.

Parameters: target The target object of which to get the prototype.

Syntax example: Reflect.getPrototypeOf(target)
