js-deep-equals
testing of array and object deep equality (unsorted and sorted), accounting for nested arrays and nested objects
faster than JSON.stringify(x) === JSON.stringify(y)
and Lodash's isEqual (benchmark code here)
unsorted arrays are compared by creating a Merkle Tree out of the input and comparing the top level hashes. hashing is done using murmur v3.
usage
npm install js-deep-equals
const { compare, compareUnsorted } = require('js-deep-equals')
const arr1 = [
1,
2,
3,
'test',
'test2',
'test3',
{
a: 12,
b: 13,
c: 14,
d: [ 71, 72, 73, { 'sonested': true } ]
}
]
// order and contents are the same as arr1
let arr2 = [
1,
2,
3,
'test',
'test2',
'test3',
{
b: 13,
a: 12, // different order of objects is ok
c: 14,
d: [ 71, 72, 73, { 'sonested': true } ]
}
]
// order of this array is different than arr1, but content is the same
let arr3 = [
1,
'test',
2,
3,
'test2',
{
b: 13,
a: 12,
d: [ 71, 72, { 'sonested': true }, 73 ]
c: 14,
},
'test3'
]
compare(arr1, arr2) // true
compare(arr1, arr3) // false
compareUnsorted(arr1, arr3) // true
