Overview

Package crep ("see-rep") contains a utility for producing a Canonical REPresentation of a value type and for comparing objects using a fuzzy equivalence relationship.

Functions

func Equal

func Equal(a, b any) (bool, error)

Equal returns true if the two values are canonically equal. Two values are equal if their Canonical representations are equal.

Types

type Value

type Value any

A Value is one of:

• nil
• string, possibly numeric in nature
• bool
• []Value
• map[string]Value

func Canonical

func Canonical(value any) (Value, error)

Canonical returns a canonical, JSON-esque representation of an input value. The values returned by this function will, in general, agree with the changefeed encoding for that value type. Furthermore, numbers will be converted to a string representation, so that they may be presented to the script runtime without loss of precision.

func Unmarshal

func Unmarshal(data []byte) (Value, error)

Unmarshal should be used instead of json.Unmarshal to ensure that numeric types are decoded with minimum loss of precision.
