Compare two JSON values semantically, ignoring key order and whitespace. See Chapter 24.

• json2 (required): second value to compare

{
  same: jsonEquals({b: 2, a: 1}, {a: 1, b: 2}),  // true (same content, different key order)
  diff: jsonEquals({a: 1}, {a: 2})                // false
}

// Use case: detect changes between two API responses. See Chapter 24.
if (!jsonEquals($input.previous, $input.current)) {
  changed: true,
  hash: canonicalJSONHash($input.current)
}
