Diff generator

This is the utility for getting diff between two json or yaml files.

Bellow you may see the way to install and use the package:

pip install --user --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ kulakoff1988-gendiff

Diff between two flat yaml or json files:

gendiff tests/fixtures/test_flat_old.yml tests/fixtures/test_flat_new.yml

The output in the string format by default:

{
    constant: yep
  - test: bar
  + test: foo
  - foo: bar
  + bar: foo
}

Diff between two recursive structured files:

gendiff tests/fixtures/test_nested_old.json tests/fixtures/test_nested_new.json

Output:

{
    common: {
        setting1: Value 1
      - setting2: 200
        setting3: true
      - setting6: {
            key: value
        }
      + setting4: blah blah
      + setting5: {
            key5: value5
        }
    }
    group1: {
      - baz: bas
      + baz: bars
        foo: bar
    }
  - group2: {
        abc: 12345
    }
  + group3: {
        fee: 100500
    }
}

Diff between two files in plain format:

gendiff tests/fixtures/test_nested_old.json tests/fixtures/test_nested_new.json -f plain

Property "common.setting2" was removed
Property "common.setting6" was removed
