A small npm package, “is-obj,” that checks whether a given value is an object in JavaScript. It returns true for values like arrays and functions (since they are objects), and false for non-objects like strings. Use it when you need basic object type checking, and use “is-plain-obj” if you specifically need plain objects.
Project status
- The source (is-obj) appears quiet and not actively maintained, with the last upstream push and newest available updates both dated 2021-04-16, which is well over a year ago relative to 2026-09-10.
- The apparent update cadence is sparse, with version updates in 2021, then 2019, then 2016, suggesting infrequent maintenance rather than an ongoing release stream.
