compare function does not return patches for objects that contain the key "" #260

The compare() function does not return any differences when the two objects contain a key {"": ""}.

This data type is used because our PHP backend adds that key to force casting it to a js object in responses, instead of arrays, which is how the PHP json serializer works.

For example:

const foo = { key: { "": "" } };
const bar= { key: { "": "", "bar": "abc" } };
compare(foo, bar);
