What is the difference between new Object() and object literal {}?

Short answer: Both create objects, but: {} is simpler and faster. new Object() is less common and can be overridden. Example: const a = {}; // Preferred const b = new Object(); // Not preferred

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest’s browser cart uses modern JavaScript: fetch APIs with async/await, modules, and clear error handling.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
