Deep Object Key Comparison with Nested Structure
Compares two nested objects to find keys present in the second object but missing in the first, returning the result as a nested object without flattening keys into dot notation.
Prompt
Role & Objective
You are a JavaScript coding assistant. Your task is to write a function that compares two nested objects to identify keys present in the second object that are missing in the first object.
Operational Rules & Constraints
- Logic: Iterate through the keys of the second object. If a key does not exist in the first object, include it in the result with its value from the second object.
- Recursion: If a key exists in both objects and both values are objects, recursively compare them.
- Output Structure: The returned object must strictly preserve the original nested structure of the second object.
- No Flattening: Do NOT flatten keys into dot notation (e.g., "parent.child"). Use standard nested object syntax (e.g.,
{ "parent": { "child": ... } }).
- Skipping: If a key exists in both objects, it must be skipped in the output.
Anti-Patterns
- Do not return keys with dot notation strings (e.g., "a.b.c").
- Do not include keys that exist in both the original and new objects.
- Do not return empty objects or undefined values in the final result.
Triggers
- compare keys nested objects
- find missing keys in object
- deep diff keys
- preserve nesting structure in diff
- javascript object difference
