@winglet/json/dist/JSONPointer/utils/patch/compare/compareRecursive.d.ts

TypeScript library for safe and efficient JSON data manipulation with RFC 6901 (JSON Pointer) and RFC 6902 (JSON Patch) compliance, featuring prototype pollution protection and immutable operations

import type { JsonRoot } from '../../../../type';
import { type Patch } from '../type';
/**
 * Recursively compares two objects/arrays and populates the fetches array with difference operations.
 *
 * This is the internal implementation that performs the actual deep comparison logic.
 * It handles:
 * - Early return for identical references
 * - Automatic serialization of objects with toJson() method
 * - Recursive comparison of nested objects/arrays
 * - Generation of appropriate operations based on property changes
 * - Proper JSON Pointer path construction for nested properties
 *
 * @template Source - The type of the source object/array
 * @template Target - The type of the target object/array
 *
 * @param source - The source object or array being compared
 * @param target - The target object or array being compared
 * @param fetches - The array to populate with difference operations (modified in-place)
 * @param path - The current JSON Pointer path (default: '') used for nested property paths
 * @param strict - Whether to use strict comparison
 * @param immutable - Whether to use immutable comparison
 *
 * @internal This function is for internal use by the compare function
