jsoncomparedeep 1.12

A recursive Json comparing library that handles list orders and fuzzy types

A library to compare any json string/json-like objects.

Features

• Compare jsons and print the differences (and where they are, recursion supported). Useful for interface testing.

• Ignore the order of items in a list or not, recursively.

• Both python 27 and 36 supported.

• Regular expression supported for string to skip unconcerned keys or just to assert the format.

• Compact string and unicode (or bytes and str in python3), they are considered equal. Good for non ascii coding languages.

• Support tuples, so results from pymysql.cursors.DictCursor can compare with interface response directly.

• Json type legal check.

• Support skipping anywhere using argument like ignore_path=[“/a/1/k”, “/a/1/l”], dict keys or list indexes. Skipped fields are regarded as match. (New)

QuickStart

pip install deepjsoncompare

from json_compare import Jcompare
cp=Jcompare()
print(cp.compare({"key1":["v1","v2"],"key2":{"key3":1}},{"key1":["v2","v1"],"key2":{"key3":2}}))

to see

a is {'key2': {'key3': 1}, 'key1': ['v1', 'v2']}
b is {'key2': {'key3': 2}, 'key1': ['v2', 'v1']}
ignore_list_seq = True, re_compare = True
different value at /key2/key3
a: 1
b: 2
False

for more demo and information, just install it and visit the test file test_json_compare.py in Your Python Path/Lib/site-packages/deepjsoncompare/

Small Hints

• Datetime in SQL result is not JSON serializable type, use something like CAST(create_time as CHAR) ‘create_time’ in SQL statement to solve it.

Todo

• Fuzzy equal when handling floats.
