how to compare two deeply nested json objects?
Hey everyone, I am calling an api which returns a json. And i have. json file on local. I want to check if they are same or not. Do I have to loop through both jsons and compare the values or is there any better way of solving this problem.
If all you need is to check whether they equal or not, just do bytes.Equal.
If you are looking for an accurate diff you can use testfy's JSON Equal here.

That function introduces an extraneous *testing.T (for this context), which is hard to fake up in a non-testing context because it wants to fail if the two things are not equal, which is basically a panic.
You can take the source of it and build a version without the t value. Basically use reflect.DeepEqual on the result of unmarshaling into the two anys.
reflect.DeepEqual on map[string]any instances you unmarshaled your json data into.
If you only care whether they're identical you can just compare the bytes.
Only if you can guarantee the ordering of keys is the same in each though, right?

You can do this: reflect.DeepEqual(newConfig, globals.Config)

Camp.equal is the best output I’ve seen for test cases and just debugging in general.
