Method Detail

isEqual

public static boolean isEqual(Object o1,
              Object o2)

Determines whether two objects are equal, in a way that respects the isJSONObjectEqual() method for JSONObjects. It operates in the following manner:

• If the two objects are both JSONObjects, it calls isJSONObjectEqual().
• If they are JSONArrays, then it iteratively calls JSONUtils.isEqual() on each successive element (returning false if the two arrays are of different lengths, or if any of the successive pairs is unequal).
• If the two objects are of any other (pair of) types, it simple calls o1.isEqual(o2).

Parameters:

o1 - The first object to compare.

o2 - The second object to compare.

Returns:

True if the two objects satisfy the above conditions, false otherwise.

isJSONObjectEqual

public static boolean isJSONObjectEqual(org.json.JSONObject o1,
                        org.json.JSONObject o2)

Determines whether two JSONObjects are "equal," where equality is determined in a key-order-independent manner.

Parameters:

o1 -

o2 -

Returns:

If either object has a key that the other lacks, or if one object's key value returns false when JSONUtils.isEqual() is called on that object, and given the other objects key value as the second argument.
