The fastest deep equal

This readme is for pre-release v3 with ES6 Map, Set and Typed arrays support.

See branch v2 for the main version.

Install

To install v3 pre-release with ES6 Map, Set and Typed arrays support

npm install fast-deep-equal@beta

To install v2

npm install fast-deep-equal

Features

ES5 compatible
works in node.js (8+) and browsers (IE9+)
checks equality of Date and RegExp objects by value.

ES6 equal (require('fast-deep-equal/es6')) also supports:

Maps
Sets
Typed arrays

Usage

var equal = require('fast-deep-equal');
console.log(equal({foo: 'bar'}, {foo: 'bar'})); // true

To support ES6 Maps, Sets and Typed arrays equality use:

var equal = require('fast-deep-equal/es6');
console.log(equal(Int16Array([1, 2]), Int16Array([1, 2]))); // true
