Comparing JSON data

[Marius Miliunas]

I'm trying to compare incoming JSON data to the existing data to see if there are any changes, but for giant objects like:

[{"date":"2011-09-03 23:06:03","notifier_id":"1","type":"1","unread":"0"},{"date":"2011-09-05 00:37:46"}]

if (JSON.stringify(oldData) == JSON.stringify(newData))

This doesn't seem to work. I've tried using:

escape("'" + JSON.stringify(W.notification.list + "'"))

but that ignores the objects properties and returns something like 22%5Bobject%20Object%5D%2C%5Bobject

I'm sure there's got to be an easier way, if anyone has any ideas, please shoot

I just noticed the comparison is correct. My old data was getting modified, so when the new data was coming in, it was getting compared to the modified data.

I'm an idiot.
