The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
nested-equal
Advanced tools
A tiny (~239B) and super fast deep/nested equality utility.
Takes 2 values and returns a boolean indicating if they are equal or not by traversing recursively.
Supports Objects
, Arrays
, Numbers
, Strings
, null
, undefined
, NaN
, Functions
. Other types like Map
, Set
, Date
and others use reference equality instead of value equality.
Key order within objects does not matter while value order within arrays does matter.
$ npm install nested-equal
import { nestedEqual } from "nested-equal";
nestedEqual({},{}); // true
nestedEqual({a:1},{a:1}); // true
nestedEqual([1,2],[1,3]); // false
nestedEqual(NaN,NaN); // true
nestedEqual([1,2,3],[1,2,3]); // true
nestedEqual([
{a:'value',b:'value'},
{a:'value',b:'value'},
],[
{a:'value',b:'value'},
{a:'value',b:'value'},
]) // true
nestedEqual(5,'5'); // false
nestedEqual(null,null); // true
nestedEqual(null,undefined); // false
Claiming a library is fast without looking into the data structure is naive at best, since the data structure largely impacts performance as no algorithm can handle all the different data structures. Hence a couple of benchmarks were made with some different data structures to compare it to other popular libararies.
