+ * Creates an object wrapper.
+ *
+ * The Object constructor creates an object wrapper for the given value. If the value is null or
+ * undefined, it will create and return an empty object, otherwise, it will return an object of a type
+ * that corresponds to the given value.
+ *
+ * When called in a non-constructor context, Object behaves identically.
+ *
+ * # Using Object given undefined and null types
+ *
+ * The following examples store an empty Object object in o:

*
- * A collection of useful static methods to deal with objects
+ * var o = new Object(undefined);
*
- * @singleton
+ * var o = new Object(null);

+ * # Using Object to create Boolean objects

+ * The following examples store Boolean objects in o:
+ *
+ * // equivalent to o = new Boolean(true);
+ * var o = new Object(true);

+</span> * @method valueOf
+ * Returns the primitive value of the specified object.
+ *
+ * JavaScript calls the `valueOf` method to convert an object to a primitive value. You rarely need to
+ * invoke the `valueOf` method yourself; JavaScript automatically invokes it when encountering an
+ * object where a primitive value is expected.
*
- * @member Ext
- * @method urlDecode
- * @deprecated 4.0.0 Use {@link Ext.Object#fromQueryString Ext.Object.fromQueryString} instead
+ * By default, the `valueOf` method is inherited by every object descended from `Object`. Every built-
+ * in core object overrides this method to return an appropriate value. If an object has no primitive
+ * value, `valueOf` returns the object itself, which is displayed as:
+ *
+ * [object Object]
+ *
+ * You can use `valueOf` within your own code to convert a built-in object into a primitive value.
+ * When you create a custom object, you can override `Object.valueOf` to call a custom method instead
+ * of the default `Object` method.
+ *
+ * You can create a function to be called in place of the default `valueOf` method. Your function must
+ * take no arguments.
+ *
+ * Suppose you have an object type `myNumberType` and you want to create a `valueOf` method for it.
+ * The following code assigns a user-defined function to the object's valueOf method:
+ *
+ * myNumberType.prototype.valueOf = new Function(functionText)
+ *
+ * With the preceding code in place, any time an object of type `myNumberType` is used in a context
+ * where it is to be represented as a primitive value, JavaScript automatically calls the function
+ * defined in the preceding code.
+ *
+ * An object's `valueOf` method is usually invoked by JavaScript, but you can invoke it yourself as
+ * follows:
+ *
+ * myNumber.valueOf()
+ *
+ * Note: Objects in string contexts convert via the `toString` method, which is different from
+ * `String` objects converting to string primitives using `valueOf`. All objects have a string
+ * conversion, if only `"[object type]"`. But many objects do not convert to number, boolean, or
+ * function.
+ *
+ * @return {Object} Returns value of the object or the object itself.

+<span id='Object-property-constructor'>/**
+</span> * @property constructor
+ * Specifies the function that creates an object's prototype.
+ *
+ * Returns a reference to the Object function that created the instance's prototype. Note that the
+ * value of this property is a reference to the function itself, not a string containing the
+ * function's name, but it isn't read only (except for primitive Boolean, Number or String values: 1,
+ * true, "read-only").
+ *
+ * All objects inherit a `constructor` property from their `prototype`:
+ *
+ * o = new Object // or o = {} in JavaScript 1.2
+ * o.constructor == Object
+ * a = new Array // or a = [] in JavaScript 1.2
+ * a.constructor == Array
+ * n = new Number(3)
+ * n.constructor == Number
+ *
+ * Even though you cannot construct most HTML objects, you can do comparisons. For example,
+ *
+ * document.constructor == Document
+ * document.form3.constructor == Form
+ *
+ * The following example creates a prototype, `Tree`, and an object of that type, theTree. The example then displays the `constructor` property for the object `theTree`.
+ *
+ * function Tree(name) {
+ * this.name = name;
+ * }
+ * theTree = new Tree("Redwood");
+ * console.log("theTree.constructor is " + theTree.constructor);
+ *
+ * This example displays the following output:
+ *
+ * theTree.constructor is function Tree(name) {
+ * this.name = name;
+ * }
+ *
+ * The following example shows how to modify constructor value of generic objects. Only true, 1 and
+ * "test" variable constructors will not be changed. This example explains that is not always so safe
+ * to believe in constructor function.
+ *
+ * function Type(){};
+ * var types = [
+ * new Array, [],
+ * new Boolean, true,
+ * new Date,
+ * new Error,
+ * new Function, function(){},
+ * Math,
+ * new Number, 1,
+ * new Object, {},
+ * new RegExp, /(?:)/,
+ * new String, "test"
+ * ];
+ * for(var i = 0; i < types.length; i++){
+ * types[i].constructor = Type;
