The jsoncompare-1 from gobindadas

jsoncompare-1's Introduction

##Install

pip install jsoncompare

##Explanation

Being able to tell whether or not an arbitrarily nested json blob is the same as another blob can hurt your eyes.
Additional complexity comes in when your json array's order doesn't matter.
For example, you might have a set in Java that you are going to send over the wire as json. It may be represented as a json array but in actuality, you don't care about the order.

Recent Changes

Version    Comments
0.1.1      Orginal Version
0.1.2      Adds support for "contains"

##Examples

from jsoncompare import jsoncompare

# Compare respecting each array's order
jsoncompare.are_same(a, b)

# Compare ignoring each array's order
jsoncompare.are_same(a, b, True)

# Compare ignoring the value of certain keys
jsoncompare.are_same(a, b, False, ["datetime", "snacktime"])

# Contains at least
jsoncompare.contains(a, b)

# Getting difference traces
from jsoncompare import jsoncompare

a = {
    "failureReason" : "Invalid request entity",
    "fieldValidationErrors" : [
        {
            "field" : "normal value 1",
            "reason" : "may not be smelly"
        },
        {
            "field" : "Catalog.name",
            "reason" : "may not be null"
        }
    ]
}
b = {
    "failureReason" : "Invalid request entity",
    "fieldValidationErrors" : [
        {
            "field" : "crazy value 2",
            "reason" : "may not be null"
        },
        {
            "field" : "Catalog.catalogOwner",
            "reason" : "may not be null"
        }
    ]
}
print jsoncompare.are_same(a, b)[1]

results in:

Reason: Different values
Expected:
  "normal value 1"
Actual:
  "crazy value 2"

Reason: Different values (Check order)
Expected:
  {
      "field": "normal value 1", 
      "reason": "may not be smelly"
  }
Actual:
  {
      "field": "crazy value 2", 
      "reason": "may not be null"
  }

Reason: Different values
Expected:
  [

      {
          "field": "Catalog.name", 
          "reason": "may not be null"
      }
  ]
Actual:
  [
      {
