  • Structs
  • IList Objects
  • Collections
  • Single and Multi-Dimensional Arrays
  • Immutable Arrays
  • IDictionary Objects
  • Enums
  • Timespans

Limitations

  • Custom Collections with Non-Integer Indexers cannot be compared.
  • Private properties and fields cannot be compared for .NET Core 1.3. They are allowed to be compared in .NET Core 2.0 and higher.
  • DynamicObject type is not supported but will be implemented in 2020 when the library is versioned to .NET Framework 4.5
  • When ignoring the collection order, the collection matching spec must be a property on the class. It cannot be a field or a property on a child or parent class. The property has to be a simple type.
