To my knowledge, there is no such thing. The Xrm namespace is in the client webapi, and yes, that namespace is being steadily phased out of the product, but there is no such object as Xrm.Constants in there.

Where did you come across this? The closest I can think of is possibly a shared variable in JavaScript or simply defining const variables in your javascript namespace.

Agree with @cchannon. It's probably a custom library that was added as a custom web resource.

I came across old CRM Code in which Xrm.Constants is used to store some value and then use the same in other entity form like string parameter.
Ex:
on load of Account Entity Xrm.Constants.AccountName is used to save AccountName and when user open related contact record Xrm.Constants.AccountName can be used in contact form/control event to get AccountName

That must be some custom library in formscript. There is no such namespace in the client API.
