FAQ Topic - What is a built-in object?

A built-in object is any object supplied by an ECMAScript
implementation, independent of the host environment, that is present
at the start of the execution of an ECMAScript program.
ECMA-262 3rd Edition defines the following built-in objects:
Objects
_global_, Math
Constructors
Object, Function, Array, String, Boolean, Number, Date, RegExp
Errors
Error, Date, EvalError, RangeError, ReferenceError, SyntaxError, TypeError, URIError
Functions

ECMA-262 Edition 5 defines also the built-in object `JSON`.
Nonstandard built-in objects may include `RuntimeObject`,
`String.prototype.link`, `CollectGarbage`, and more.
