How does zjsonpatch test handle comparing numeric values? #151

Open s-jepsen opened 1 year ago

s-jepsen commented 1 year ago

According to RFC 6902:

4.6. test

The "test" operation tests that a value at the target location is equal to a specified value.

The operation object MUST contain a "value" member that conveys the value to be compared to the target location's value.

The target location MUST be equal to the "value" value for the operation to be considered successful.

Here, "equal" means that the value at the target location and the value conveyed by "value" are of the same JSON type, and that they are considered equal by the following rules for that type:

o strings: are considered equal if they contain the same number of Unicode characters and their code points are byte-by-byte equal.

o numbers: are considered equal if their values are numerically equal.

o arrays: are considered equal if they contain the same number of values, and if each value can be considered equal to the value at the corresponding position in the other array, using this list of type-specific rules.

How compliant is zjsonpatch according to this description?
