# deep-equal
Node's `assert.deepEqual() algorithm` as a standalone module.
This module is around [5 times faster](https://gist.github.com/2790507)
than wrapping `assert.deepEqual()` in a `try/catch`.

# example
``` js
var equal = require('deep-equal');
console.dir([
equal(
{ a : [ 2, 3 ], b : [ 4 ] },
{ a : [ 2, 3 ], b : [ 4 ] }
),
equal(
{ x : 5, y : [6] },
{ x : 5, y : 6 }
)
]);
```
# methods
``` js
var deepEqual = require('deep-equal')
```
## deepEqual(a, b, opts)
Compare objects `a` and `b`, returning whether they are equal according to a
recursive equality algorithm.
If `opts.strict` is `true`, use strict equality (`===`) to compare leaf nodes.
The default is to use coercive equality (`==`) because that's how
`assert.deepEqual()` works by default.
