@jsheaven/equal

this package provides a utility for deep comparison of two values (objects, primitives or arrays) in JavaScript / Typescript. It can be used to check if two objects are equal in value, even if they have different references in memory. The isEqual function recursively compares each property of the objects, using the === operator to compare primitive values and recursively calling itself to compare nested objects and arrays. The package also provides an option to perform a strict comparison, which will check that the objects have the same prototype chain, constructor, and other characteristics. The package is commonly used in testing frameworks, such as Jest, to compare the expected and actual values of test results.
