comparePaths

fun Schema<*>.comparePaths(path1: Path, path2: Path): Int(source)

fun Schema<*>.comparePaths(path1: String, path2: String): Int(source)

Compares two paths of a schema according to the order in which children are defined in said schema. Returns a value > 0 if path1 is greater than path2, < 0 if path2 if greater than path1, or 0 otherwise.

Consider the following classes and schema:

data class Person(var name: String, var pets: List<Pet>)
data class Pet(var name: String, var age: Int)

val formSchema = ClassSchema {
    Person::name { StringSchema() }
    Person::pets {
        ListSchema {
            ClassSchema {
                Pet::name { StringSchema() }
                Pet::age { IntSchema() }
            }
        }
    }
}

For the above schema, all the following are true:

/name>/
/pets>/name
/pets/1>/pets/0
/pets/1/name>/pets/1
/pets/1/age>/pets/1/name
