比较两个json数组
我有这个间隔，它执行ajax请求，目前每5秒。 我对if语句有疑问。 我的代码总是输入它，两个json值完全相同，为什么它们看起来不同？
var newActivity = null, oldActivity = null; setInterval(function(){ $.ajax({ type: "get", url: "/get/new_activity", dataType: "json", success: function(data){ oldActivity = newActivity; newActivity = data; console.log(JSON.stringify(oldActivity)); console.log(JSON.stringify(newActivity)); if(JSON.stringify(oldActivity) != JSON.stringify(newActivity)){ $("#new-activity").slideDown( "fast" ); } } }); }, 5000);

这是控制台输出（虚线是分开请求，它不在实际输出中）

JSON对象不能保证以相同的方式序列化，不保证属性的顺序相同，使用JSON.stringify不是测试对象相等性的好方法。
一个更好的例子就是像以前那样的函数（在互联网上找到，希望我可以归功于原作者）
/** * Deep compare of two objects. * * Note that this does not detect cyclical objects as it should. * Need to implement that when this is used in a more general case. It's currently only used * in a place that guarantees no cyclical structures. * * @param {*} x * @param {*} y * @return {Boolean} Whether the two objects are equivalent, that is, * every property in x is equal to every property in y recursively. Primitives * must be strictly equal, that is "1" and 1, null an undefined and similar objects * are considered different */ function equals ( x, y ) { // If both x and y are null or undefined and exactly the same if ( x === y ) { return true; } // If they are not strictly equal, they both need to be Objects if ( ! ( x instanceof Object ) || ! ( y instanceof Object ) ) { return false; } // They must have the exact same prototype chain, the closest we can do is // test the constructor. if ( x.constructor !== y.constructor ) { return false; } for ( var p in x ) { // Inherited properties were tested using x.constructor === y.constructor if ( x.hasOwnProperty( p ) ) { // Allows comparing x[ p ] and y[ p ] when set to undefined if ( ! y.hasOwnProperty( p ) ) { return false; } // If they have the same strict value or identity then they are equal if ( x[ p ] === y[ p ] ) { continue; } // Numbers, Strings, Functions, Booleans must be strictly equal if ( typeof( x[ p ] ) !== "object" ) { return false; } // Objects and Arrays must be tested recursively if ( !equals( x[ p ], y[ p ] ) ) { return false; } } } for ( p in y ) { // allows x[ p ] to be set to undefined if ( y.hasOwnProperty( p ) && ! x.hasOwnProperty( p ) ) { return false; } } return true; },
一种解决方案是将json数据作为文本而不是json读取，并且在成功时检查来自服务器的响应字符串是否与最后一个响应字符串不同。 然后你可以在字符串上调用JSON.parse。 但这使得比较变得更加容易，只需稍微修改一下代码即可。
我想你应该尝试比较他们的属性。
for(var property in JSON.stringify(oldActivity)) { if(JSON.stringify(oldActivity)[property]!=JSON.stringify(newActivity)[property]) $("#new-activity").slideDown( "fast" ); }
