JavaScript Object methods provide powerful tools for manipulating objects. Use Object.keys/values/entries for iteration, Object.assign or spread for merging, and Object.fromEntries for transformation. For advanced use cases, Object.defineProperty and descriptors offer fine-grained control. Always consider whether you need shallow or deep operations.
