# deep-equal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Node's `assert.deepEqual() algorithm` as a standalone module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module is around [5 times faster](https://gist.github.com/2790507)
|
||
|
|
than wrapping `assert.deepEqual()` in a `try/catch`.

# example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
var equal = require('deep-equal');
|
||
|
|
console.dir([
|
||
|
|
equal(
|
||
|
|
{ a : [ 2, 3 ], b : [ 4 ] },
|
||
|
|
{ a : [ 2, 3 ], b : [ 4 ] }
|
||
|
|
),
|
||
|
|
equal(
|
||
|
|
{ x : 5, y : [6] },
|
||
|
|
{ x : 5, y : 6 }
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
]);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# methods
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
var deepEqual = require('deep-equal')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## deepEqual(a, b, opts)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compare objects `a` and `b`, returning whether they are equal according to a
|
||
|
|
recursive equality algorithm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If `opts.strict` is `true`, use strict equality (`===`) to compare leaf nodes.
|
||
|
|
The default is to use coercive equality (`==`) because that's how
|
||
|
|
`assert.deepEqual()` works by default.
