Overview

The deepdiff package implements a version of reflect.DeepEquals that also returns an error message describing the first difference found.

Functions

func DeepDiff

func DeepDiff(a1, a2 interface{}) (bool, error)

DeepDiff tests for deep equality. It uses normal == equality where possible but will scan elements of arrays, slices, maps, and fields of structs. In maps, keys are compared with == but elements use deep equality. DeepEqual correctly handles recursive types. Functions are equal only if they are both nil. DeepEqual differs from reflect.DeepEqual in that an empty slice is equal to a nil slice, and an empty map is equal to a nil map. If the two values compare unequal, the resulting error holds the first difference encountered.
