JavaScript比较两个数组的内容是否相同(推荐)

今天意外地发现JavaScript是不能用==或===操作符直接比较两个数组是否相等的。

alert([]==[]);  // false
alert([]===[]);  // false

以上两句代码都会弹出false。

因为JavaScript里面Array是对象,==或===操作符只能比较两个对象是否是同一个实例,也就是是否是同一个对象引用。目前JavaScript没有内置的操作符判断对象的内容是否相同。

但是惯性思维让人以为数组也是值,是可以比较的。

如果要比较数组是否相等,就只能遍历数组元素比较。

在网上流传很普遍的一种做法是将数组转换成字符串:

JSON.stringify(a1) == JSON.stringify(a2)

 或

a1.toString() == a2.toString()

请不要使用这种方法。

这种方法在某些情况下是可行的,当两个数组的元素顺序相同且元素都可以转换成字符串的情况下确实可行,但是这样的代码存有隐患,比如数字被转换成字符串,数字“1”和字符串“1”会被认为相等,可能造成调试困难,不推荐使用。

在StackOverflow上有大神已经提供了正确的方法,我就做下搬运工吧:

// Warn if overriding existing method
if(Array.prototype.equals)
  console.warn("Overriding existing Array.prototype.equals. Possible causes: New API defines the method, there's a framework conflict or you've got double inclusions in your code.");
// attach the .equals method to Array's prototype to call it on any array
Array.prototype.equals = function (array) {
  // if the other array is a falsy value, return
  if (!array)
    return false;
  // compare lengths - can save a lot of time 
  if (this.length != array.length)
    return false;
  for (var i = 0, l = this.length; i < l; i++) {
    // Check if we have nested arrays
    if (this[i] instanceof Array && array[i] instanceof Array) {
      // recurse into the nested arrays
      if (!this[i].equals(array[i]))
        return false;    
    }      
    else if (this[i] != array[i]) { 
      // Warning - two different object instances will never be equal: {x:20} != {x:20}
      return false;  
    }      
  }    
  return true;
}
// Hide method from for-in loops
Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "equals", {enumerable: false});

大神还顺手给了比较Object的方法:

Object.prototype.equals = function(object2) {
  //For the first loop, we only check for types
  for (propName in this) {
    //Check for inherited methods and properties - like .equals itself
    //https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/hasOwnProperty
    //Return false if the return value is different
    if (this.hasOwnProperty(propName) != object2.hasOwnProperty(propName)) {
      return false;
    }
    //Check instance type
    else if (typeof this[propName] != typeof object2[propName]) {
      //Different types => not equal
      return false;
    }
  }
  //Now a deeper check using other objects property names
  for(propName in object2) {
    //We must check instances anyway, there may be a property that only exists in object2
      //I wonder, if remembering the checked values from the first loop would be faster or not 
    if (this.hasOwnProperty(propName) != object2.hasOwnProperty(propName)) {
      return false;
    }
    else if (typeof this[propName] != typeof object2[propName]) {
      return false;
    }
    //If the property is inherited, do not check any more (it must be equa if both objects inherit it)
    if(!this.hasOwnProperty(propName))
     continue;
    //Now the detail check and recursion
    //This returns the script back to the array comparing
    /**REQUIRES Array.equals**/
    if (this[propName] instanceof Array && object2[propName] instanceof Array) {
          // recurse into the nested arrays
      if (!this[propName].equals(object2[propName]))
            return false;
    }
    else if (this[propName] instanceof Object && object2[propName] instanceof Object) {
          // recurse into another objects
          //console.log("Recursing to compare ", this[propName],"with",object2[propName], " both named \""+propName+"\"");
      if (!this[propName].equals(object2[propName]))
            return false;
    }
    //Normal value comparison for strings and numbers
    else if(this[propName] != object2[propName]) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  //If everything passed, let's say YES
  return true;
}
