Determine if an array or object is equivalent with another, *not* recursively.

## Usage ##

[![shallow-equals](https://nodei.co/npm/shallow-equals.png?mini=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/shallow-equals)

### `equals(a, b, [compare])` ###

Check if `a` and `b` are pretty much the same thing. Note this won't be the

case if `a` and `b` are different types (e.g. Array vs. Object, String vs.

Function).

By default, all comparisons between values are using the strict equality

(`===`) operator. You can also pass in a custom `compare` function to override

this behavior.

``` javascript

var equals = require('shallow-equals')

// true:

equals([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3])

// true:

equals({ hello: 'world' }, { hello: 'world' })

// false:

equals([1, 2, {}], [1, 2, {}])

// true:

equals([1, 2], [

  { value: 1 },

  { value: 2 }

], function(a, b) {

  return a === b.value

})

```
