Node.js assert.notDeepEqual() Method
Example
If two objects, and their child objects, are equal, an error is thrown and the program is terminated:
var assert = require('assert');
var x = { a : { n: 0 } };
var y = { a :
{ n: 0 } };
var z = { a : { n: 1 } };
assert.notDeepEqual(x, z); //OK
assert.notDeepEqual(x,
y); /*AssertionError: { a: { n: 0 } } notDeepEqual {a: { n: 0 } }*/

Definition and Usage
The assert.notDeepEqual() method tests if two objects, and their child objects, are NOT equal, using the != operator.
If the two objects are equal, an assertion failure is being caused, and the program is terminated.
To compare the objects using the !== operator, use the assert.notDeepStrictEqual() method.
Syntax
assert.notDeepEqual(value1, value2, message);

Using the message parameter:
