在检查数组大小之后，使用for循环检查每个值。

function equalArray(a, b) {
    if (a.length === b.length) {
        for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
            if (a[i] !== b[i]) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

它处理所有可能的东西，甚至在对象的结构中引用自己。您可以在代码的末尾看到示例。

var deepCompare = (function() {
    function internalDeepCompare (obj1, obj2, objects) {
        var i, objPair;

        if (obj1 === obj2) {
            return true;
        }

        i = objects.length;
        while (i--) {
            objPair = objects[i];
            if (  (objPair.obj1 === obj1 && objPair.obj2 === obj2) ||
                  (objPair.obj1 === obj2 && objPair.obj2 === obj1)  ) {                          
                return true;
            }                    
        }
        objects.push({obj1: obj1, obj2: obj2});

        if (obj1 instanceof Array) {
            if (!(obj2 instanceof Array)) {
                return false;
            }

            i = obj1.length;

            if (i !== obj2.length) {
               return false; 
            }

            while (i--) {
                if (!internalDeepCompare(obj1[i], obj2[i], objects)) {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        else {
            switch (typeof obj1) {
                case "object":                
                    // deal with null
                    if (!(obj2 && obj1.constructor === obj2.constructor)) {
                        return false;
                    }

                    if (obj1 instanceof RegExp) {
                        if (!(obj2 instanceof RegExp && obj1.source === obj2.source)) {
                            return false;
                        }
                    }                 
                    else if (obj1 instanceof Date) {
                        if (!(obj2 instanceof Date && obj1.getTime() === obj2.getTime())) {
                            return false;
                        }
                    } 
                    else {    
                        for (i in obj1) {
                            if (obj1.hasOwnProperty(i)) {       
                                if (!(obj2.hasOwnProperty(i) && internalDeepCompare(obj1[i], obj2[i], objects))) {
                                    return false;
                                }
                            }
                        }         
                    }
                    break;
                case "function": 
                    if (!(typeof obj2 === "function" && obj1+"" === obj2+"")) {
                        return false;
                    }
                    break;
                default:                 //deal with NaN 
                    if (obj1 !== obj2 && obj1 === obj1 && obj2 === obj2) {
                        return false;            
                    }
            }
        }

        return true;
    }

    return function (obj1, obj2) {
        return internalDeepCompare(obj1, obj2, []);    
    };
}());

/*    
var a = [a, undefined, new Date(10), /.+/, {a:2}, function(){}, Infinity, -Infinity, NaN, 0, -0, 1, [4,5], "1", "-1", "a", null],
    b = [b, undefined, new Date(10), /.+/, {a:2}, function(){}, Infinity, -Infinity, NaN, 0, -0, 1, [4,5], "1", "-1", "a", null];

jQuery就有这样的方法进行深层递归比较。

一个自主开发的通用严格的相等检查可以如下所示:

function deepEquals(obj1, obj2, parents1, parents2) {
    "use strict";
    var i;
    // compare null and undefined
    if (obj1 === undefined || obj2 === undefined || 
        obj1 === null || obj2 === null) {
        return obj1 === obj2;
    }

    // compare primitives
    if (typeof (obj1) !== 'object' || typeof (obj2) !== 'object') {
        return obj1.valueOf() === obj2.valueOf();
    }

    // if objects are of different types or lengths they can't be equal
    if (obj1.constructor !== obj2.constructor || (obj1.length !== undefined && obj1.length !== obj2.length)) {
        return false;
    }

    // iterate the objects
    for (i in obj1) {
        // build the parents list for object on the left (obj1)
        if (parents1 === undefined) parents1 = [];
        if (obj1.constructor === Object) parents1.push(obj1);
        // build the parents list for object on the right (obj2)
        if (parents2 === undefined) parents2 = [];
        if (obj2.constructor === Object) parents2.push(obj2);
        // walk through object properties
        if (obj1.propertyIsEnumerable(i)) {
            if (obj2.propertyIsEnumerable(i)) {
                // if object at i was met while going down here
                // it's a self reference
                if ((obj1[i].constructor === Object && parents1.indexOf(obj1[i]) >= 0) || (obj2[i].constructor === Object && parents2.indexOf(obj2[i]) >= 0)) {
                    if (obj1[i] !== obj2[i]) {
                        return false;
                    }
                    continue;
                }
                // it's not a self reference so we are here
                if (!deepEquals(obj1[i], obj2[i], parents1, parents2)) {
                    return false;
                }
            } else {
                // obj2[i] does not exist
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
};

测试:

// message is displayed on failure
// clean console === all tests passed
function assertTrue(cond, msg) {
    if (!cond) {
        console.log(msg);
    }
}

var a = 'sdf',
    b = 'sdf';
assertTrue(deepEquals(b, a), 'Strings are equal.');
b = 'dfs';
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Strings are not equal.');
a = 9;
b = 9;
assertTrue(deepEquals(b, a), 'Numbers are equal.');
b = 3;
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Numbers are not equal.');
a = false;
b = false;
assertTrue(deepEquals(b, a), 'Booleans are equal.');
b = true;
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Booleans are not equal.');
a = null;
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Boolean is not equal to null.');
a = function () {
    return true;
};
assertTrue(deepEquals(
[
    [1, 1, 1],
    [2, 'asdf', [1, a]],
    [3, {
        'a': 1.0
    },
    true]
], 
[
    [1, 1, 1],
    [2, 'asdf', [1, a]],
    [3, {
        'a': 1.0
    },
    true]
]), 'Arrays are equal.');
assertTrue(!deepEquals(
[
    [1, 1, 1],
    [2, 'asdf', [1, a]],
    [3, {
        'a': 1.0
    },
    true]
],
[
    [1, 1, 1],
    [2, 'asdf', [1, a]],
    [3, {
        'a': '1'
    },
    true]
]), 'Arrays are not equal.');
a = {
    prop: 'val'
};
a.self = a;
b = {
    prop: 'val'
};
b.self = a;
assertTrue(deepEquals(b, a), 'Immediate self referencing objects are equal.');
a.prop = 'shmal';
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Immediate self referencing objects are not equal.');
a = {
    prop: 'val',
    inside: {}
};
a.inside.self = a;
b = {
    prop: 'val',
    inside: {}
};
b.inside.self = a;
assertTrue(deepEquals(b, a), 'Deep self referencing objects are equal.');
b.inside.self = b;
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Deep self referencing objects are not equeal. Not the same instance.');
b.inside.self = {foo: 'bar'};
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Deep self referencing objects are not equal. Completely different object.');
a = {};
b = {};
a.self = a;
b.self = {};
assertTrue(!deepEquals(b, a), 'Empty object and self reference of an empty object.');

这种方法很糟糕，但我把它留在这里作为参考，所以其他人会避免这种方法:

使用@ninjagecko的选项1最适合我:

Array.prototype.equals = function(array) {
    return array instanceof Array && JSON.stringify(this) === JSON.stringify(array) ;
}

a = [1, [2, 3]]
a.equals([[1, 2], 3]) // false
a.equals([1, [2, 3]]) // true

它还将处理null和未定义的情况，因为我们将它添加到数组的原型中，并检查另一个参数是否也是一个数组。

根据Tim James的回答和Fox32的评论，下面应该检查空值，假设两个空值不相等。

function arrays_equal(a,b) { return !!a && !!b && !(a<b || b<a); }

> arrays_equal([1,2,3], [1,3,4])
false
> arrays_equal([1,2,3], [1,2,3])
true
> arrays_equal([1,3,4], [1,2,3])
false
> arrays_equal(null, [1,2,3])
false
> arrays_equal(null, null)
false

var a= [1, 2, 3, '3'];
var b = [1, 2, 3];

var c = a.filter(function (i) { return ! ~b.indexOf(i); });

alert(c.length);
