困难的方法(如果你想做一些比.indexOf更奇特的东西)

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.reduce(function (diff, current) { 
        if (target.indexOf(current) === -1) { 
            diff.push(current); 
        }

        return diff; 
    }, []);
}

简单的方法

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.filter(function (current) {
        return target.indexOf(current) === -1;
    });
}

快速的解决方案。尽管似乎其他人已经发布了相同方法的不同变体。我不确定这是否适合大型数组，但它适用于不大于10或15的数组。

差b - a

for(var i = 0; i < b.length; i++){
  for(var j = 0; j < a.length; j ++){
    var loc = b.indexOf(a[j]);
    if(loc > -1){
      b.splice(loc, 1);
    }
  }
}

对称和线性复杂度。需要ES6。

function arrDiff(arr1, arr2) {
    var arrays = [arr1, arr2].sort((a, b) => a.length - b.length);
    var smallSet = new Set(arrays[0]);

    return arrays[1].filter(x => !smallSet.has(x));
}

这是目前为止最简单的方法来得到你正在寻找的结果，使用jQuery:

var diff = $(old_array).not(new_array).get();

Diff现在包含了old_array中不在new_array中的内容

function array_diff(array1, array2) {
   let returnArray = [];
   $.each(array1, function(index, value) {
     let findStatus = false;
     if (Array.isArray(array2)) {
       $.each(array2, function(index2, value2) {
         if (value == value2) findStatus = true;
       });
     } else {
       if (value == array2) {
         findStatus = true;
       }
     }

     if (findStatus == false) {
       returnArray.push(value);
     }
   });
   return returnArray;
}

**这将根据'type'参数为任意2个数组返回一个唯一值数组，或一个重复值数组，或一个非重复值数组(difference)。**

let json1 = ['one', 'two']
let json2 = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']

function uniq_n_shit (arr1, arr2, type) {

  let concat = arr1.concat(arr2)
  let set = [...new Set(concat)]

  if (!type || type === 'uniq' || type === 'unique') {

    return set

  } else if (type === 'duplicate') {

    concat = arr1.concat(arr2)
    return concat.filter(function (obj, index, self) {
      return index !== self.indexOf(obj)
    })

  } else if (type === 'not_duplicate') {

    let duplicates = concat.filter(function (obj, index, self) {
      return index !== self.indexOf(obj)
    })

    for (let r = 0; r < duplicates.length; r++) {
      let i = set.indexOf(duplicates[r]);
      if(i !== -1) {
        set.splice(i, 1);
      }
    }

    return set

  }
}

console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, null)) // => [ 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four' ]
console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, 'uniq')) // => [ 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four' ]
console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, 'duplicate')) // => [ 'one', 'two' ]
console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, 'not_duplicate')) // => [ 'three', 'four' ]
