NanoEqual

Ultra fast and compact implementation of deep equal without any production dependencies.

Usage

npm install nano-equal --save

var nanoEqual = require('nano-equal');

if (nanoEqual(a, b)) {
    //....
}

What is that?

This is a compact and fast implementation of deep equal.

Deep equal is an algorithm that comparing two values. If the values are a scalar (string, bool, number), then comparing will be performed thru === operator.

If the values are an object (object, array, function), then comparing will be performed recursively.

Following of the object properties is not important:

var a = {prop1: 'some', prop2: 'some'};
var b = {prop2: 'some', prop1: 'some'};

nanoEqual(a, b); // true

But following of the array elements is important:

var a = [1, 2, 3];
var b = [3, 2, 1];

nanoEqual(a, b); // false

NaN values and some types of recursion are supported.
