Expand description

This trait checks whether the shape of two objects is the same. The goal is to determine whether two representations are equivalent.

Example: two schemas of the same type might be structurally equivalent even if some of the internal metadata is different because they have been visited by different sets of examples. Example: two schemas of different types might be structurally equivalent if they represent the same shape of data.

Notes:

  • sample-dependent metadata should be ignored.
  • semantic information (like a regex pattern) should match.
  • unreliable information (like an inferred regex) might be ignored.

This trait closely mirrors PartialEq.

Required Methods§
