how to compare 2 json in python [closed]

Answer 1

It seems that the usual comparison working properly

import json
x = json.loads("""[
    {
       "globalControlId": 72,
       "value": 0,
       "controlId": 2
   },
   {
       "globalControlId": 77,
       "value": 3,
       "controlId": 7
   }
]""")

y = json.loads("""[{"value": 0, "globalControlId": 72,"controlId": 2}, {"globalControlId": 77, "value": 3, "controlId": 7 }]""")

x == y # result: True    

Answer 2

these are not valid JSON / Python objects, because array / list literals are inside [] instead of {}:

UPDATE: to compare list of dictionaries (serialized JSON array of objects), while ignoring the order of list items, the lists need to be sorted or converted to sets:

sample_json1=[{"globalControlId": 72, "value": 0, "controlId": 2},
              {"globalControlId": 77, "value": 3, "controlId": 7}]
sample_json2=[{"globalControlId": 77, "value": 3, "controlId": 7},
              {"globalControlId": 77, "value": 3, "controlId": 7}, # duplicity
              {"globalControlId": 72, "value": 0, "controlId": 2}]

# dictionaries are unhashable, let's convert to strings for sorting
sorted_1 = sorted([repr(x) for x in sample_json1])
sorted_2 = sorted([repr(x) for x in sample_json2])
print(sorted_1 == sorted_2)

# in case the dictionaries are all unique or you don't care about duplicities,
# sets should be faster than sorting
set_1 = set(repr(x) for x in sample_json1)
set_2 = set(repr(x) for x in sample_json2)
print(set_1 == set_2)
