OVERVIEW:

compareobj is a script for comparing javascript objects. To my
knowledge, it is most useful for writing unit tests and for comparing static json files that would used for web applications.

<a id=usage">USAGE:

compare two objects to see if they have definition for the same members

   var CompareObj = require('../compareobj');
   CompareObj.isSameMembersDefined({
      prop1 : true,
      prop2 : {
        prop2a : {
          prop2a1 : true
        }
      }   
   }, {
      prop1 : true,
      prop2 : {
        prop2a : {}
      }   
   }); // false

   var CompareObj = require('../compareobj');
   CompareObj.isSameMembersDefined({
      prop1 : true,
      prop2 : {
        prop2a : {
          prop2a1 : true
        }
      }   
   }, {
      prop1 : true,
      prop2 : {
        prop2a : {
          prop2a1 : true
        }
      }   
   }); // true

isSameMembers will also accept a callback

   var CompareObj = require('../compareobj');
   CompareObj.isSameMembersDefined({
      prop1 : true,
      prop2 : {
        prop2a : {
          prop2a1 : true,
          prop2a2 : true
        }
      }   
   }, {
      prop1 : true,
      prop2 : {
        prop2a : {}
      }   
   }, function (type, propertyName) {
     console.log(type, propertyName);
   });
   // child prop2
   // property prop2a2

compare two objects to see if they have the same definition for the same members
