Javascript: check if object is = {} [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

This seems like a simple question but I cannot understand why this is not working:

Item = {};
if (Item === {}) {console.log('true')} else {console.log('false')};

Why does this log 'false', and how can I make it log true?

This works (it logs 'true') but I don't really like this as a solution:

Item = {};
if (JSON.stringify(Item) === '{}') {console.log('true')} else {console.log('false')};
