Put in simple terms, both are comparison operators of Javascript with the difference being that === is a type safe / type aware operator. If two operands are of the same type and same value, only then the === returns true. Whereas, in case of == if the two operands are not of the same type, they try to coerce the values.

1 == '1'  //  true
1 === '1' // false

Its always better to use === and !== whenever possible to avoid surprises.
