Discuss sorting objects into serialized deterministic order

[paulroth3d]

JSON and pojo objects and maps don’t have a defined order, but this can make comparing them challenging - especially with deeply nested objects

Make something that defines the property hierarchy for objects - like ‘tree’ from the root in key,value pairs - that can then be sorted

or deep clone the objects (note this will not preserve classes or inheritance likely) to the list of properties in an ascending order

will help people getting started

will help people getting started, but also comparing objects.

Looking into it - it seems possible:

but not something that has to be done with this library.
