FAQ Topic - What is a built-in object?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A built-in object is any object supplied by an ECMAScript
implementation, independent of the host environment, that is present
at the start of the execution of an ECMAScript program.

ECMA-262 3rd Edition defines the following built-in objects:

Objects
_global_, Math

Constructors
Object, Function, Array, String, Boolean, Number, Date, RegExp

Errors
Error, Date, EvalError, RangeError, ReferenceError, SyntaxError, TypeError, URIError

Functions
eval, parseInt, parseFloat, isNaN, isFinite, decodeURI,
decodeURIComponent, encodeURI, encodeURIComponent

ECMA-262 Edition 5 defines also the built-in object `JSON`.

Nonstandard built-in objects may include `RuntimeObject`,
`String.prototype.link`, `CollectGarbage`, and more.
