Function metadataEqual

producer.go:1092–1109

metadataEqual compares two JSON byte slices for semantic equality by parsing them into maps and re-marshaling them. This handles cases where the JSON is equivalent but formatted differently (whitespace, field order, etc).

(a, b []byte)

// them into maps and re-marshaling them. This handles cases where the JSON is
// equivalent but formatted differently (whitespace, field order, etc).
