Example 3: js object clear

// for enumerable and non-enumerable of an object with proto chain
var props = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj);
for (var i = 0; i < props.length; i++) {
  delete obj[props[i]];
}

// for enumerable properties of shallow/plain object

  // this check can be safely omitted in modern JS engines
  // if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key))
    delete obj[key];
