Difference between Object.values and Object.entries Methods

The object is the parent class from which all the javascript objects are inherited and these two methods are the static methods of the Object class as they are called by the class name of the Object class.

JavaScript Object.values() Method

In the same order as a for…in the loop, the Object.values() method returns an array of the enumerable property values of an object. This is the only difference: a for…in the loop also enumerates properties in the prototype chain.

Syntax:

Object.values(object)

Parameter: This object is enumerable with its own properties whose values should be returned.

Return Type: Array of values

Example: Users can open the console in the Chrome web browser by pressing ctrl + shift + I.

Javascript

let fullname = {
    firstname: "geeks",
    middlename: "for",
    lastname: "geeks",
};
let name = Object.values(fullname);
console.log(name);

Output

[ 'geeks', 'for', 'geeks' ]

JavaScript Object.entries() Method

This method returns an array of the keys and values of the objects’ enumerable string-keyed properties. It works similarly to iterating with a for…in the loop, with the exception that a for…in the loop also enumerates properties in the prototype chain.

Syntax:

Object.entries(object)

Parameter: Returns the object’s own enumerable string-keyed property [key, value] pairs.

Return: This is an array of the given object’s string-keyed property [key, value] pairs.

Example:

Javascript

let fullname = {
    firstname: "geeks",
    middlename: "for",
    lastname: "geeks",
};
let name = Object.entries(fullname);
console.log(name);

Output

[
  [ 'firstname', 'geeks' ],
  [ 'middlename', 'for' ],
  [ 'lastname', 'geeks' ]
]

Difference between object.value and object.entries methods:

object.value	object.entries
It returns the array of values of a particular object	It returns an array of arrays of key-value pair
It returns only values of all keys present in an object	It returns both keys as well as their values present in an object
