What is the /\\/ Object in JavaScript?

Question

When i type /\\/ (slash, backslash, backslash, slash) into any javascript console in any browser, it just returns /\\/. I assume, this is an object, but what is it there for? Thank you for answers.

It's a [RegExp](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp) literal. — jonrsharpe, Nov 01 '21 at 13:58

It is a literal for a RegExp that matches a backslash.
