It seems like a task for the `every` method of arrays, 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/every, 
with a suitable check that implements your "requirement of "is of 
composite objects and not of primitive or some other values". I am not 
too sure what exactly you want to check there, but I guess it goes along 
the lines of

myArray.every(function(item) { return !(typeof item == 'number' || 
typeof item == 'boolean' || ...); })
