Detecting JSON changes

[Slawomir Pryczek]

Hi Guys,

I have 2 json files, A, B. Now i want to detect changes on the root level.

File A: {"a":{"b":1, "c":2}, "x":false,  ... }

File B: {"a":{"b":1, "c":2}, "x":true,  ... }

I want to be able to see that x is different between A and B and a stayed the same. What would be the easiest approach?

Thanks

This is not easy in general. Try using an available package, like: github.com/wI2L/jsondiff

 

Thanks

I can think three options here.

One, create a type T that unmarshal the JSON into T and add method that
compare each fields.

Two, create a type T and unmarshal the JSON into T and use third party
library that do struct comparison.

Three, diff the text as is using third party library.

For option two and three, I have some example here:
