difftool

#difftool

diff module to compare and diff JSON and XML

Usage

$ npm install difftool --save

var difftool = require('difftool');
    
difftool.diff(lhs,rhs,schema, options, function(result) {

}

lhs and rhs are the two objects to compare.

schema - you can specify a schema to apply to the comparison to compare just by type or skip the field example:

var schema = { a: { skipKey:true, compareValues: true, compareTypes: true  }}

in this example when it gets to compare the a field, we tell the comparison to: skipKey: don't compare at all, exclude it from the report compareValues: if false we compare the types but not the values of the property compareType: if false we don't compare neither the values nor the types of a property

options is an object with 2 fields: options.filter(a,b) is a function you can pass to the comparison, it's yield every time 2 fields are compared, if the function return true the comparison for those fields is skipped. options.stringCaseInsensitive is a boolean, if true the string comparison is done case insensitive

result is an array returned from the diff method containing all the differences
