Benchmark: _.isEqual vs Array.prototype.join()

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/lodash@4.17.4/lodash.min.js"></script>

Script Preparation code:

// Configure array size
var max = 1000000; // 1 Million

// Generate arrays
var arr1 = [];
for (var i = 0; i <= max; i++) {
  arr1.push(i);
}

var arr2 = arr1.slice().reverse(); // Same content, different order
var arr3 = arr1.slice();           // Same content, same order

Tests:

isEqual should return true
_.isEqual(arr1, arr3);
Join should return true
arr1.join(',') === arr3.join(',');
isEqual should return false
_.isEqual(arr1, arr2);
Join should return false
arr1.join(',') === arr2.join(',');
