duplicating object in Salesforce

Hello,

Is there any way to duplicate a object or a more simpler way to create object rather than the tradional way.
(My object has 300 fields)

Thanks

Try to use Force.com migration toolkit.
Download custom object definition.
Copy the file and rename it.
Rename the object in the new xml-file and upload it.
Never tried it though...

I don't know what you'e after but in UI there is a standard [Clone] button.
In Apex you can use the sObject clone() method: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_methods_system_sobject.htm#apex_System_SObject_clone

Are you trying to duplicate metadata? Copy object definition 1 --> object definition 2 ?
