Is there are proper way to $.extend a nested properties in jQuery?

Question

What I have and what I need. It\'s easy.

The default options (there are nested properties):

{
  sDom: \'frt<\"tfoot\"lp>\',
  bInfo: false,
  s

You need a recursive copy by passing true as the first parameter:

var defaults = {...}
var actual = {...}

//recursively merge to a blank object
console.log($.extend(true,{}, defaults, actual))​
