Recursive Comparator
Fast optimized algorithm to compare two variables of any type in JavaScript. The algorithm supports recursive comparison with nested items and performs the operations in a comparative way - so that in case of differences it automatically returns "false" instead of continuing to compare. The order of elements is taken into account in any operation. The function also supports comparison functions that will dictate the behavior the comparator will use to check the data.

Installation/Usage
Via NPM:
npm install recursive-comparator-js
Manually:
To get the script just clone that repository (or get the version in "Releases" section) and import "compare" from "recursiveComparator.js"
Usage without conditional function parameter:
compare([{a: 1}], [{a: 1}]); //(May be equal) True
compare([[1]], [[3]]); //(May be equal) False
With conditional function parameter:
compare([{a: 1}], [{a: 1}], (a, b) => !compare(a, b)); //(May pass in the function parameters) False
compare([{a: 1}], [{a: 1}], (a, b) => compare(a, b)); //(May pass in the function parameters) True
