Updating one object with another

Question

How can I update an object with another object?

for example

master = { name: "John", email: "j@j.com" }

child = { phone: "888-333-3999" }

How can I update master with child?

Output of master need to be

{ name: "John", email: "j@j.com", phone: "888-333-3999" }

Also, this is a node.js JavaScript, I don't want to use jQuery.

Nothing in your question involved JSON in any way. You're dealing with JavaScript objects. — user229044, Dec 30 '14 at 08:46
Oh please, stop using the phrase **JSON object**. JSON is a **string**. — Leo, Dec 30 '14 at 08:47

It's quite simple, you just need to iterate over one object and copy its properties/values into the other object:

for (key in child) master[key] = child[key];
