A fast, flexible and robust utility for deep equality comparison with type-specific logic and engine-aware design.
-
High Performance
Outperforms popular libraries likelodash.isEqual,fast-equals,dequal,are-deeply-equalandnode.isDeepStrictEqual. -
Engine-Aware Design
Tailored execution paths for V8 and JSC based engines to maximize performance. -
Web-First Architecture
Uses a lightweight, browser-safe implementation by default with full compatibility across all modern browsers and runtimes. -
Broad Support
Handles objects, arrays, sets, maps, array buffers, typed arrays, data views, booleans, strings, numbers, bigints, dates, errors, regular expressions and primitives. -
Customizable
Fine-tune behavior with options for handling circular references, cross-realm objects, react elements and more. -
Fully Tested
Includes over 40 unit tests with complete parity againstlodash.isEqualand edge case coverage. -
Type-Safe
Fully typed with TypeScript declarations.
npm install @observ33r/object-equalsCompares two values for deep equality.
- target: The first value to compare (
any). - source: The second value to compare (
any). - options: Optional configuration object (see below).
- Returns:
boolean-trueif values are deeply equal,falseotherwise. - Throws:
TypeErrorif an unsupported object type is encountered.
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| circular | boolean |
false |
Enables circular reference handling using a cache |
| crossrealm | boolean |
false |
Enables cross-realm object comparison (e.g., vm contexts) |
| react | boolean |
false |
Enables React element comparison (checks $$typeof, type, key, ref and props) |
| symbols | boolean |
false |
Includes symbol-keyed properties in object comparison |
| fallback | boolean |
false |
Enables fallback comparison using valueOf() or toString() |
| cache | Map | WeakMap |
undefined |
Custom cache for circular references (auto-managed if circular is true) |
or
The core comparison function, exposed for advanced use cases. Takes individual parameters instead of an options object.

The react option is designed to support React elements comparison, including props that contain inline functions (e.g. onClick: () => ...). Most libraries fail such comparisons due to referential inequality. For benchmarking fairness, all comparisons use structurally equivalent trees without inline functions.

summary
object-equals

4.64x faster than dequal
21.31x faster than lodash.isEqualNote
This table reflects web-safe operation and for fairness, excludes node.isDeepStrictEqual, which is not available in browser runtimes and would distort the comparison. object-equals also leverages Buffer.compare internally when is available, but gracefully falls back to cross-platform logic in web to ensure consistent and deterministic results.
Note
fast-equals is also excluded from the both tests because it does not natively support ArrayBuffer and returns misleading results despite executing without errors. This behavior could lead to incorrect conclusions about its performance or correctness.

This table reflects web-safe operation and for fairness, excludes node.isDeepStrictEqual, which is not available in browser runtimes and would distort the comparison. object-equals also leverages Buffer.compare internally when is available, but gracefully falls back to cross-platform logic in web to ensure consistent and deterministic results.

This table reflects web-safe operation and for fairness, excludes node.isDeepStrictEqual, which is not available in browser runtimes and would distort the comparison. object-equals also leverages Buffer.compare internally when is available, but gracefully falls back to cross-platform logic in web to ensure consistent and deterministic results.
Note
fast-equals is also excluded from the both tests because it does not natively support DataView and returns misleading results despite executing without errors. This behavior could lead to incorrect conclusions about its performance or correctness.
All benchmarks use mitata for performance testing with data generated by object-generator to reflect realistic and deeply nested object structures. The suite includes both synthetic and real-world data tests, including React specific cases.
# Big JSON Object (~1.2 MiB, deeply nested)
npm run benchmark
# React elements benchmark
npm run benchmark:react
# Structured, nested and large-scale benchmark with synthetic data
npm run benchmark:advanced This package uses rollup to generate clean and optimized ESM builds.
To build package from source code, run:
npm run buildThis will generate the output in the dist/ folder. Main (web-safe) and node (runtime-specific) builds are handled via custom rollup config and exposed under appropriate exports in package.json.
This package includes a carefully structured test suite, ensuring correctness and compatibility with expected semantics.
tests/
├─ objectEquals.test.js # Core tests with basic and edge cases
└─ objectEquals.lodash.test.js # Parity tests ported from lodash.isEqual- The core tests cover basic type-specific checks, circular references, cross-realm objects, symbols, etc.
- The parity tests ensure alignment with lodash’s deep equality expectations (ported from QUnit to Vitest).
- All tests are written in Vitest with native ESM support and zero transform overhead.
You can run the full suite with:
npm testor run individual tests:
npx vitest run tests/objectEquals.test.js
npx vitest run tests/objectEquals.lodash.test.jsFeel free to open issues or submit pull requests on GitHub.
