+## Description
+
+None of the existing ones on npm really work therefore I ported it myself.
+
+
+
+## Usage
+
+To install this module in your current working directory (which should already contain a package.json), run
+
+```
+npm install node.extend
+```
+
+You can additionally just list the module in your [package.json](https://npmjs.org/doc/json.html) and run npm install.
+
+Then, require this package where you need it:
+
+```
+var extend = require('node.extend');
+```
+
+The syntax for merging two objects is as follows:
+
+```
+var destObject = extend({}, sourceObject);
+// Where sourceObject is the object whose properties will be copied into another.
+// NOTE: In this situation, this is not a deep merge. See below on how to handle a deep merge.
+```
+
+For information about how the clone works internally, view source in lib/extend.js or checkout the doc from [jQuery][]
+
+### A Note About Deep Merge (avoiding pass-by-reference cloning)
+
+In order to force a deep merge, when extending an object, you must pass boolean true as the first argument to extend:
+
+```
+var destObject = extend(true, {}, sourceObject);
+// Where sourceObject is the object whose properties will be copied into another.
+```
+
+See [this article](http://www.jon-carlos.com/2013/is-javascript-call-by-value-or-call-by-reference/) for more information about the need for deep merges in JavaScript.
