get-proto is a JavaScript utility that robustly retrieves an object's [[Prototype]] (its prototype), using the best available method. It is useful when you need a reliable way to access an object's prototype in Node.js or similar environments, including cases where __proto__ is set or is null.

v1.0.1
No release notes were provided for v1.0.1 in the <release_notes> section. The diff and repository CHANGELOG entry indicate this release focuses on correcting behavior of get-proto when using Object.getPrototypeOf across windows/realms, specifically around throwing on non-object inputs.
v1.0.0
This release is tagged v1.0.0, but the publisher provided no release notes, so there is no documented information about changes, fixes, or migrations. Developers should review the changelog and diff between the previous version and v1.0.0 to identify any potential breaking changes or undocumented behavior.
