Why is this returning dictionaries with unhashable key names?

[Alex Garnett]

Hi,

Unless I'm missing something, it's unnecessarily difficult to do a .get("delete", None) on the dictionaries returned by jsondiff.diff() because the keys are named delete rather than "delete". Is this intentional, and is there a workaround I'm not aware of?

Thanks!

@akhilkumard where did you fix it? Do you have a PR?

[Felix Zumstein]

Actually, I think what you are looking for is this:

>>> import jsondiff as jd
>>> d = diff(['a', 'b', 'c'], ['a', 'c'])
>>> d.get(jd.delete)
[1]

The docs are, admittedly, not first class.

Thanks, that works. Would appreciate it being documented though! That wouldn't have occurred to me.

I agree, will update and close the issue afterwards.

got this from another issue, works also on arbitrary nested stuff:

jsondiff(d1, d2, marshal=True)

should be the default imho, at least it should be documented.

Ah I wasted some time on this too. Should have checked the issues earlier. +1 for documentation update, been 6+ months now.
