Difference in JSON objects using Javascript/JQuery

Question

I have two JSON objects in Javascript, identical except for the numerical values. It looks like this:

var data = {
  \"eth0\":{\"Tx\":\"4136675\",\"Rx\":\"13         


        

Answer 1

This did the trick for me when dealing with a similar problem. It gets the differences in second compared to first.

var first  = originalObj;
var second = modifiedObj;
var diff   = {};

var differ = function(first, second, result) {
    var i = 0;
    for (i in first) {
        if (typeof first[i] == "object" && typeof second[i] == "object") {
            result[i] = differ(first[i], second[i], {});
            if (!result[i]) delete result[i];
        } else if (first[i] != second[i]) {
            result[i] = second[i];
        }
    }
    return isEmpty(result) ? undefined : result;
}

differ(old_conf, new_conf, diff);

Code is a bit of a special case, but you get the general idea :P
