jQuery get diff between two objects with arrays of objects

Question

Pulling my hair out over this one,

I am trying to get the diff between two objects like this. They are nested objects not arrays:

Object a { innerA={...}, innerB={..}, innerC={...} }
Object b { innerA={...}, innerC={...} }

The difference should be innerB object.

I have use of the jQuery lib (1.7.2).

I would post code but I have tried so much I wouldn't know what to put anymore!

jQuery doesn't have anything that will help you here, you'll have to loop through them yourself. — user400654

var a = { innerA:{}, innerB:{}, innerC:{} };
var b = { innerA:{}, innerC:{} };

$.each(a, function(index){
    if(!b[index]) {
        // do what you want
    }
});
