## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install json-compare-pro
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from json_compare_pro import compare_jsons

# Simple comparison
json1 = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
json2 = {"name": "John", "age": 30}

result = compare_jsons(json1, json2)
print(result)  # True
```

### Advanced Configuration

```python
from json_compare_pro import compare_jsons_with_config, JSONCompareConfig

# Advanced comparison with configuration
config = JSONCompareConfig(
    keys_to_ignore=["id", "timestamp"],
    check_keys_only=["status"],
    case_sensitive=False,
    ignore_order=True,
    numeric_tolerance=0.1
)

result = compare_jsons_with_config(json1, json2, config)
print(f"Equal: {result.is_equal}")
print(f"Differences: {len(result.differences)}")
print(f"Execution time: {result.execution_time:.4f}s")
```

### Custom Validation

```python
# Custom validation rules
custom_validations = {
    "email": {"type": "endswith", "expected": "@example.com"},
    "phone": {"type": "regex", "expected": r"\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}"},
    "score": {"type": "range", "min": 0, "max": 100}
}

result = compare_jsons(json1, json2, custom_validations=custom_validations)
```

### Schema Validation

```python
from json_compare_pro import JSONSchemaValidator, create_user_schema

# Create and use schema
schema = create_user_schema()
validator = JSONSchemaValidator(schema)

validation_result = validator.validate(json_data)
if validation_result.is_valid:
    print("✅ Data is valid!")
else:
    print(f"❌ Validation failed: {len(validation_result.errors)} errors")
```

### JSONPath Extraction

```python
from json_compare_pro import JSONPathExtractor

# Extract values using JSONPath
extractor = JSONPathExtractor()
result = extractor.find(json_data, "$.users[*].email")

print(f"Found {result.count} email addresses:")
for value, path in zip(result.values, result.paths):
    print(f"  {path}: {value}")
```

### Detailed Diff Report

```python
from json_compare_pro import JSONDiffReporter, DiffFormatter

# Generate detailed diff
reporter = JSONDiffReporter()
diff_report = reporter.generate_diff(json1, json2)

# Format as markdown
markdown_diff = DiffFormatter.to_markdown(diff_report)
print(markdown_diff)
```

## 🖥️ Command Line Interface

### Basic Comparison

```bash
# Compare two JSON files
json-compare file1.json file2.json

# With options
json-compare file1.json file2.json \
  --ignore-keys id timestamp \
  --check-keys-only status \
  --case-sensitive false \
  --output-format markdown \
  --output-file diff_report.md
```

### Generate Diff Report

```bash
# Generate detailed diff
json-compare diff file1.json file2.json \
  --output-format html \
  --output-file diff_report.html
```

### Extract with JSONPath

```bash
# Extract values using JSONPath
json-compare extract data.json "$.users[*].email" \
  --output-format json
```

### Schema Validation

```bash
# Validate against schema
json-compare validate data.json schema.json

# Generate schema
json-compare generate-schema --type user --output-file user_schema.json
```

## 📚 Advanced Examples

### API Testing Workflow

```python
import requests
from json_compare_pro import compare_jsons_with_config, JSONCompareConfig

# Test API response
def test_api_response():
    # Expected response structure
    expected = {
        "status": "success",
        "data": {
            "users": [
                {"id": "1", "name": "John", "email": "john@example.com"}
            ]
        }
    }
    
    # Actual API response
    response = requests.get("https://api.example.com/users")
    actual = response.json()
    
    # Compare with configuration
    config = JSONCompareConfig(
        keys_to_ignore=["data.users[0].id"],  # Ignore dynamic ID
        custom_validations={
            "data.users[*].email": {"type": "endswith", "expected": "@example.com"}
        },
        ignore_order=True  # Array order doesn't matter
    )
    
    result = compare_jsons_with_config(expected, actual, config)
    
    if result.is_equal:
        print("✅ API response matches expected structure")
    else:
        print("❌ API response differs:")
        for diff in result.differences:
            print(f"  - {diff['message']}")
    
    return result.is_equal
```

### Data Migration Validation

```python
from json_compare_pro import JSONPathExtractor, compare_jsons

def validate_migration(old_data, new_data):
    # Extract specific fields for comparison
    extractor = JSONPathExtractor()
    
    # Compare user data
    old_users = extractor.find(old_data, "$.users[*]")
    new_users = extractor.find(new_data, "$.users[*]")
    
    # Validate each user
    for old_user, new_user in zip(old_users.values, new_users.values):
        result = compare_jsons(
            old_user, new_user,
            keys_to_ignore=["id", "created_at"],  # These change during migration
            custom_validations={
                "email": {"type": "contains", "expected": "@"},
                "status": {"type": "equals", "expected": "active"}
            }
        )
        
        if not result:
            print(f"❌ User migration validation failed")
            return False
    
    print("✅ All users migrated successfully")
    return True
```

### Configuration Management

```python
from json_compare_pro import JSONCompareConfig, ComparisonMode

# Different comparison modes for different scenarios
configs = {
    "strict": JSONCompareConfig(
        comparison_mode=ComparisonMode.STRICT,
        case_sensitive=True,
        ignore_order=False
    ),
    
    "lenient": JSONCompareConfig(
        comparison_mode=ComparisonMode.LENIENT,
        case_sensitive=False,
        ignore_order=True,
        numeric_tolerance=0.1
    ),
    
    "tolerance": JSONCompareConfig(
        comparison_mode=ComparisonMode.TOLERANCE,
        numeric_tolerance=0.01,
        ignore_whitespace=True
    )
}

# Use appropriate config based on context
def compare_with_context(json1, json2, context="strict"):
    config = configs[context]
    return compare_jsons_with_config(json1, json2, config)
```
