This package is based on the original `reflect.DeepEqual`, but adds useful error messages pointing out where and how the compared values differ.

```go

import "github.com/romnn/deepequal"

```

#### Example

```go

// examples/example1/main.go

package main

import (

	"log"

	"github.com/romnn/deepequal"

)

type person struct {

	Name    string

	Age     int

	Hobbies []string

}

func main() {

	a := person{Name: "A", Age: 22, Hobbies: []string{"Surfing"}}

	b := person{Name: "A", Age: 22, Hobbies: []string{}}

	if equal, err := deepequal.DeepEqual(a, a); !equal {

		log.Fatalf("not equal: %v", err)

	}

	if equal, err := deepequal.DeepEqual(a, b); equal {

		log.Fatalf("unexpected equal: %v", err)

	}

}

```

For more examples see the `examples/` directory.
