adotsdot 0.0.2

JSON serializable data comparator library.

adotsdot (Almost Surely)

Purpose

Provide the ability to obtain the differences between two JSON serializable Python dictionaries (e.g., configuration files) while treating lists as unordered.*

* Supporting this functionality requires that the dictionaries in a list of dictionaries have a a field that can be used as a unique marker across all elements in the list.

Usage

Assuming prev_state and curr_state are JSON serializable Python dictionaries,

from adotsdot import diff

node = diff(prev_state, curr_state)

will generate the root of a tree of nodes that represent the changes in state.

This information can be displayed in the terminal via the str procedure or transformed into a JSON serializable Python dictionary via node.as_dict().
