compare 2 set of object's value

Question

var x = {name:'james',email:'james@j.com',tel:999};
var y = {name:'james',email:'james@j.com',tel:991};

How can I compare above x and y using loop? I'm expecting false because tel is not equal.

tried for in but found it's too messy to maintain later. Sad I couldn't use jquery.

Assuming you have the same properties in both objects, like you do above you could do this:

JsBin Example

var x = {name:'james',email:'james@j.com',tel:999};
var y = {name:'james',email:'james@j.com',tel:991};

for (var prop in x) {
  if (x[prop] !== y[prop]) {
    // do stuff here .. return false;
  }
}

Please, add a check for `hasOwnProperty`. Please. – callback Apr 24 '16 at 17:08
Well we dont have the full code to know the prototype chains of each of those two objects. So we can never be sure. – callback Apr 24 '16 at 17:30
