# Non-Index Keys > Return an array of an object's own enumerable property names which are not integer indices.
## Usage ```javascript var nonIndexKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/nonindex-keys' ); ``` #### nonIndexKeys( obj ) Returns an `array` of an object's own enumerable property names which are not integer indices. ```javascript var arr = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; arr.a = 'foo'; arr.b = 'bar'; var keys = nonIndexKeys( arr ); // e.g., returns [ 'a', 'b' ] ```
## Notes - Name order is not guaranteed, as `object` key enumeration is not specified according to the [ECMAScript specification][ecma-262-for-in]. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an `object`'s keys, thus allowing for deterministic extraction. - In contrast to the built-in `Object.keys()`, if provided `null` or `undefined`, the function returns an empty `array`, rather than throwing an error.
## Examples ```javascript var nonIndexKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/nonindex-keys' ); function Foo() { this[ 0 ] = 3.14; this.beep = 'boop'; this.a = { 'b': 'c' }; return this; } Foo.prototype.foo = [ 'bar' ]; var obj = new Foo(); var keys = nonIndexKeys( obj ); console.log( keys ); // e.g., => [ 'beep', 'a' ] ```
