Difference between dojo.mixin() and dojo.extend()?

Question

I'm new to Dojo Toolkit and today I came across the topic dojo.mixin() and dojo.extend(). I guess both are used to acquiring one object's property from another.

Can anyone explain me the difference between dojo.mixin() and dojo.extend()?

Edit: After reading the Dojo documentation I am clear that dojo.extend() is used to work on an object’s prototype.

Answer 1

From dojo docs

Mixin combines two objects from right to left, overwriting the left-most object, and returning the newly mixed object for use. mixin() is very similar to extend() but only works on objects, whereas extend explicitly extends an object’s prototype.
