Underscore.js also has an extend function if you are not using jQuery:

extend _.extend(destination, *sources) Copy all of the properties in the source objects over to the destination object, and return the destination object. It's in-order, so the last source will override properties of the same name in previous arguments.

_.extend({name: 'moe'}, {age: 50});
=> {name: 'moe', age: 50}
