Function ValueSimilar

value.go:192–213

ValueSimilar checks if two values are **logically** equal, which means the following: - If values are equal (i.e., ValueEqual() returns true), they are similar. - Binary and String values are similar, if they represent the same sequence of bytes. - Two collections are similar, if they contain the sa

(v1, v2 Value)

//     set of attributes (but may be differently ordered) and
//     values of these attributes are similar.
func ValueSimilar(v1, v2 Value) bool {
	if ValueEqual(v1, v2) {
		return true
	}

	t1 := v1.Type()
	t2 := v2.Type()

	switch {
	case t1 == TypeBinary && t2 == TypeString:

	case t1 == TypeString && t2 == TypeBinary:
		return bytes.Equal([]byte(v1.(String)), v2.(Binary))

	case t1 == TypeCollection && t2 == TypeCollection:
