Benchmark: Underscore vs Lodash isEqual vs JSON.stringify with sorting

HTML Preparation code:


<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.5/lodash.min.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  window.lodash = _;
  _ = null;
</script>
<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.9.1/underscore-min.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  window.underscore = _;
  _ = null;
</script>

Script Preparation code:

var obj1 = {
    0: {
        1: {
            key: 'one'
        }
    }
};

var obj1copy = {
    0: {
        1: {
            key: 'one'
        }
    }
};

var obj2 = {
    0: {
        1: {
            key: 'two'
        }
    }
};

Tests:

Underscore equal
underscore.isEqual(obj1, obj1copy);
Lodash equal
lodash.isEqual(obj1, obj1copy);
JSON Stringify with presorting comparison
function SortedJSONstringify(a) { const keySet = new Set(); JSON.stringify(a, (key, value) => (keySet.add(key), value)); const sortedKeys = Array.from(keySet).sort(); return JSON.stringify(a, sortedKeys); } SortedJSONstringify(obj1) === SortedJSONstringify(obj1copy)
JSON Stringify comparison
JSON.stringify(obj1) === JSON.stringify(obj1copy)
