Structure tester

[data/dictionary/Structure tester]

---

Tests whether a dictionary has the same structure as another one. Values are ignored. If strict is set, extra properties are not tolerated, the provided dictionaries must have the same keys. Example A:

1. { "first": 1, "third": 3, "fifth": 5 } @0 received via dict

2. { "first": 0, "fifth": 0 }@0 received via structure

3. strict is set to false

4. matches sends true@0

Example B:

1. { "first": 1, "third": 3, "fifth": 5 } @0 received via dict

2. { "first": 0, "seventh": 0 }@0 received via structure

3. strict is set to false

4. matches sends false@0

Example C:

1. { "first": 1, "third": 3, "fifth": 5 } @0 received via dict

2. { "first": 0, "fifth": 0 }@0 received via structure

3. strict is set to true

4. matches sends false@0
