⚡ Features

• ✅ Intuitive
• 🌪 Recursive/Circular support
• 🏎 Performant — check the benchmarks.
• 🪶 Lightweight — a mere 387B and no dependencies.

🚀 Usage

Avaliable on jsr, NPM and deno.land

import { identify } from 'object-identity';
// or
import { identify } from 'https://deno.land/x/object_identity';

// ~> identity the object
const id1 = identify({ a: new Set(['b', 'c', new Map([['d', 'e']])]) });
// ~> an entirely different object, but structurally the same
const id2 = identify({ a: new Set(['b', 'c', new Map([['e', 'e']])]) });

// they should equal
assert.toEqual(hashA, hashB);

💨 Benchmark

via the /bench directory with deno 1.41.3

✔ object-identity       ~ 14,646,170 ops/sec ± 0.10%
✔ object-hash           ~    144,060 ops/sec ± 0.01%
✔ json-stable-stringify ~    638,559 ops/sec ± 0.01%

^ object-identity is not as feature-full it's alternatives, specifically around function values and other node builtins. So take this benchmark with a grain of salt, as it's only testing "json-like" payloads.
