Learning DeepDiff library

• Comes handy when comparing results (possibly huge json payload) of API calls from network controller.
• DeepDiff can deal with nesting: lists, lists of dicts, dicts of lists, etc.
• You can also transoform xml into json (xmltodict) and then compare xml files with DeepDiff

Sample results

• pls. ignore the meaningless content ;) - I just wanted to check operation ..
