node-json-equal

Determine deep equality between JSON-like JavaScript objects. Using opts, you can compare two arrays irrespective of the ordering of elements. This module is largely inspired by deep-equal.

Another inspiration is this javascript blog on the typeof keyword

Installation

npm install node-json-equal

Usage

    var equal = require('node-json-equal');

    equal (a, b, opts);

    // Array order aware
    equal (
        [ { a: 1, b: 'first '}, { c: 'second', d: null } ],
        [ { b: 'first', a: 1}, { d: null,  c: 'second'} ]
    ); // true

   
    // Array order unaware
    equal (
        [ { c: 'second', d: null }, { a: 1, b: 'first'} ],
        [ { b: 'first', a: 1}, { d: null,  c: 'second'} ],
        { arrayOrder: false }
    ); // true

    // Array order unaware
    equal (
        [ { c: 'second', d: undefined }, { a: 1, b: 'first'} ],
        [ { b: 'first', a: 1}, { d: null,  c: 'second'} ],
        { arrayOrder: false }
    ); // false

Options

    var options = {
            arrayOrder: false // Defaults to true. If set to false, will test equality irrespective of the order of elements inside the array
    };

    equal( [1, 2, 3, 4], [4, 3, 1, 2], options); // true

Tests

npm test
