Why two arrays of objects are not equal in angularjs?

Question

I can't understand why it's always shows NOT equal in code :

 if(JSON.stringify(data.content.items) != JSON.stringify(updatedItems)) {
            console.log('update');

            updatedItems = data.content.items;  // updatedItems -global variable
        }

I receive array of objects and check every second if it's equal or not.

Have you tried using [angular.equals](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.equals) ? — Robin-Hoodie, Sep 26 '16 at 09:24

Use angular.fromJson(json) instead. It will strip the $$hashKey, that's making it not equal
