Can you provide some sample data on what are we trying to achieve here.

I want to compare the prev_excptn.body object to the next_excptn.body object in the following example and create the output at the bottom showing the differences in the two.
[{
"dime_id": 10202,
"deleted_flag": false,
"start_dt": {
"_snaptype_localdatetime": "2017-05-09T19:31:33.000"
},
"prev_excptn": {
"body": {
"id": 44,
"eModel": {
"id": 104,
"eType": {
"id": 56
},
"name": "Thing"
},
"sN": "00000064",
"objectA": {
"eId": 32,
"mK": "werfewfe",
"aUserId": 36,
"aDateTime": {
"dateTime": "2017-05-10T13:49:22+0000",
"zone": "UTC"
}
}
},
"created": {
"dateTime": "2017-05-10T13:49:21+0000",
"zone": "UTC"
}
},
"next_excptn": {
"body": {
"id": 44,
"eModel": {
"id": 104,
"eType": {
"id": 9999999999
},
"name": "Thing"
},
"sN": "00000064"
},
"created": {
"dateTime": "2017-05-10T14:03:21+0000",
"zone": "UTC"
}
}
}]
The output would be something like this. I’m not set on this structure. I just want to only include the fields that didn’t match and their values. I used DNE on the next_excptn to show it Does Not Exist.
[{
"diff": {
"body": {
"eModel": {
"eType": {
"id": {
"prev_excptn": 56,
"next_excptn": 9999999999
}
}
},
"objectA": {
"prev_excptn": {
"eId": 32,
"mK": "werfewfe",
"aUserId": 36,
"aDateTime": {
"dateTime": "2017-05-10T13:49:22+0000",
"zone": "UTC"
}
},
"next_excptn": "DNE"
}
}
}
}]
I have spent a lot of time on this and am not yet done. It is tricky when fields don’t exist or they are many levels deep.
