# Cell

## Comparisons

Comparisons that use the `operator==` (e.g. `cell1 == cell2`) do pointer comparisons internally. While this might seem unusual compared to other C++ classes, it aligns with XLNT's Memory Model and ensures the best performance, while being good enough for most use cases. If you instead want to perform a deep comparison of all underlying objects, use `compare()` instead.
