.. py:function:: ak.array_equal(a1, a2, equal_nan: bool = False, dtype_exact: bool = True, same_content_types: bool = True, check_parameters: bool = True, check_regular: bool = True, check_named_axis: bool = True)

   Returns True if two arrays have the same shape and elements.

   TypeTracer arrays are not supported, as there is very little information
   to be compared.

   :param a1: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).
   :param a2: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).
   :param equal_nan: bool (default=False)
                     Whether to count NaN values as equal to each other.
   :param dtype_exact: bool (default=True) whether the dtypes must be exactly the same, or just the
                       same family.
   :param same_content_types: bool (default=True)
                              Whether to require all content classes to match
   :param check_parameters: bool (default=True) whether to compare parameters.
   :param check_regular: bool (default=True) whether to consider ragged and regular dimensions as
                         unequal.
   :param check_named_axis: bool (default=True) whether to consider named axes as unequal.

   :returns: True if two arrays have the same shape and elements, False otherwise.
