Combine data sets and create shallow copies of objects with `merge`

{{>yui-merge}}

Using `merge`

``` YUI().use('node', 'dump', function(Y) { // This method is in the core of the library, so we don't have to use() any // additional modules to access it. However, this example requires 'node' and 'dump'. ```

Merging hash tables

When the "Merge" button is clicked, we merge three object literals in the form of hash tables. Note the key values in later parameters override those in previous parameters.

``` {{>yui-merge-js1}} ```

Creating Shallow Copies

When the "Copy" button is clicked, we create use merge on a single object in order to create a shallow clone. The code illustrates the fact that object properties of the result object are shared with the input object.

``` {{>yui-merge-js2}} ```

See the `clone` method to create deep copies of objects.
