weldx.util.compare_nested

weldx.util.compare_nested(a, b)

Deeply compares [nested] data structures combined of tuples, lists, dicts…

Also compares non-nested data-structures. Arrays are compared using np.all and xr.DataArray.identical. Sets are compared by calling == and not traversed, hence the order of all set items is important.

Parameters:

• a (Union[Sequence, Mapping, Collection, Set]) – a [nested] data structure to compare to b.

• b (Union[Sequence, Mapping, Collection, Set]) – a [nested] data structure to compare to a.

Returns:

True, if all elements (including dict keys) of a and b are equal.

Return type:

bool

Raises:

TypeError – When a or b is not a nested structure.
