# isObjectLike > Test if a value is object-like.
## Usage ```javascript var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-object-like' ); ``` #### isObjectLike( value ) Tests if a `value` is object-like. ```javascript var bool = isObjectLike( {} ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( [] ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( true ); // returns false ``` #### isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( value ) Tests if a `value` is an `array` of object-like values. ```javascript var bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, [] ] ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, '3.0' ] ); // returns false bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [] ); // returns false ```
## Notes - Return values are the same as would be obtained using the built-in [`typeof`][type-of] operator **except** that `null` is **not** considered an `object`. ```javascript var bool = ( typeof null === 'object' ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( null ); // returns false ```
## Examples ```javascript var Int8Array = require( '@stdlib/array/int8' ); var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' ); var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-object-like' ); var bool = isObjectLike( {} ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( [] ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( /./ ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( new Date() ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( Math ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( JSON ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( new Int8Array() ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( new ArrayBuffer() ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( 'a' ); // returns false bool = isObjectLike( 5 ); // returns false bool = isObjectLike( null ); // returns false bool = isObjectLike( void 0 ); // returns false bool = isObjectLike( function foo() {} ); // returns false ```
