var a1 = ['a', 'b'];
var a2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var diff = [];
for (var i in a2) {
   var found = false;
   for (var j in a1) {
      if (a2[i] === a1[j]) found = true;
   }
   if (found === false) diff.push(a2[i]);
}

那么简单。也可以用于对象，检查对象的一个属性。 就像,

if (a2[i].id === a1[j].id) found = true;

为了获得对称差异，您需要以两种方式比较数组(或在多个数组的情况下以所有方式比较)

ES7 (ECMAScript 2016)

// diff between just two arrays:
function arrayDiff(a, b) {
    return [
        ...a.filter(x => !b.includes(x)),
        ...b.filter(x => !a.includes(x))
    ];
}

// diff between multiple arrays:
function arrayDiff(...arrays) {
    return [].concat(...arrays.map( (arr, i) => {
        const others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        const unique = [...new Set([].concat(...others))];
        return arr.filter(x => !unique.includes(x));
    }));
}

ES6(2015年ECMAScript)

// diff between just two arrays:
function arrayDiff(a, b) {
    return [
        ...a.filter(x => b.indexOf(x) === -1),
        ...b.filter(x => a.indexOf(x) === -1)
    ];
}

// diff between multiple arrays:
function arrayDiff(...arrays) {
    return [].concat(...arrays.map( (arr, i) => {
        const others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        const unique = [...new Set([].concat(...others))];
        return arr.filter(x => unique.indexOf(x) === -1);
    }));
}

ES5 (ECMAScript 5.1)

// diff between just two arrays:
function arrayDiff(a, b) {
    var arrays = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
    var diff = [];

    arrays.forEach(function(arr, i) {
        var other = i === 1 ? a : b;
        arr.forEach(function(x) {
            if (other.indexOf(x) === -1) {
                diff.push(x);
            }
        });
    })

    return diff;
}

// diff between multiple arrays:
function arrayDiff() {
    var arrays = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
    var diff = [];

    arrays.forEach(function(arr, i) {
        var others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        var otherValues = Array.prototype.concat.apply([], others);
        var unique = otherValues.filter(function (x, j) { 
            return otherValues.indexOf(x) === j; 
        });
        diff = diff.concat(arr.filter(x => unique.indexOf(x) === -1));
    });
    return diff;
}

例子:

// diff between two arrays:
const a = ['a', 'd', 'e'];
const b = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
arrayDiff(a, b); // (3) ["e", "b", "c"]

// diff between multiple arrays
const a = ['b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'g'];
const b = ['a', 'b'];
const c = ['a', 'e', 'f'];
arrayDiff(a, b, c); // (4) ["c", "d", "g", "f"]

对象数组之间的差异

function arrayDiffByKey(key, ...arrays) {
    return [].concat(...arrays.map( (arr, i) => {
        const others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        const unique = [...new Set([].concat(...others))];
        return arr.filter( x =>
            !unique.some(y => x[key] === y[key])
        );
    }));
}

例子:

const a = [{k:1}, {k:2}, {k:3}];
const b = [{k:1}, {k:4}, {k:5}, {k:6}];
const c = [{k:3}, {k:5}, {k:7}];
arrayDiffByKey('k', a, b, c); // (4) [{k:2}, {k:4}, {k:6}, {k:7}]

**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' ]

另一种解决问题的方法

function diffArray(arr1, arr2) {
    return arr1.concat(arr2).filter(function (val) {
        if (!(arr1.includes(val) && arr2.includes(val)))
            return val;
    });
}

diffArray([1, 2, 3, 7], [3, 2, 1, 4, 5]);    // return [7, 4, 5]

同样，你可以使用箭头函数语法:

const diffArray = (arr1, arr2) => arr1.concat(arr2)
    .filter(val => !(arr1.includes(val) && arr2.includes(val)));

diffArray([1, 2, 3, 7], [3, 2, 1, 4, 5]);    // return [7, 4, 5]

贡献一个jQuery解决方案，我目前正在使用:

if (!Array.prototype.diff) {
    Array.prototype.diff = function (a) {
        return $.grep(this, function (i) { return $.inArray(i, a) === -1; });
    }; 
}

以上Joshaven Potter的回答非常棒。但是它返回数组B中不在数组C中的元素，而不是反过来。例如，如果var a=[1,2,3,4,5,6]。diff([3、4、5、7]);然后它将输出:==>[1,2,6]，而不是[1,2,6,7]，这是两者之间的实际差异。你仍然可以使用上面的Potter代码，但也可以简单地向后做一次比较:

Array.prototype.diff = function(a) {
    return this.filter(function(i) {return !(a.indexOf(i) > -1);});
};

////////////////////  
// Examples  
////////////////////

var a=[1,2,3,4,5,6].diff( [3,4,5,7]);
var b=[3,4,5,7].diff([1,2,3,4,5,6]);
var c=a.concat(b);
console.log(c);

这应该输出:[1,2,6,7]
