I have two json objects

 $scope.car1={"Sedan":{"Audi":["A4","A3"]},"Hatchback":{"Maruthi":["Swift"]}}; 
  $scope.car2={"Hatchback":{"Maruthi":["Swift"]},"Sedan":{"Audi":["A3","A4"]}};

I want to compare these two objects. I tried the following code:

var a=angular.equals($scope.car1,$scope.car2);

Since angular.equalsdo a deep comparison it also care about the order of data. Is there any way to compare objects regardless of the order?

'Objects' do not have an order. angular.equals will compare values using their keys.

The 'Sedan' key's value 'Audi' has different arrays (the order is different in these arrays).
Well, technically, Tarun, you are right, but still this is his question: put, given two arrays, how can i compare them order-less (note: recursively)
ok, I was under the assumption that he was comparing objects not arrays. My bad.

Implement a custom "recursive equalizer" that distinct if array is associative or not:
for associative => equalize keys, for arrays => sort array & equalize elements.

written the function myEqual() at this plunker

I don't need to use underscore.js in this case. I need pure javascript or angularjs.
well, you can easily implement another one, i'll post some code later when i find the time.
there are no associative arrays in javascript
