Digest a dataset's catalog record, ignoring what changes every release

Digest a dataset's catalog record, ignoring what changes every release

Usage

publish_record_digest(record, drop = PUBLISH_RECORD_VOLATILE)

Arguments

record

one dataset record from datasets.json (a list), or any list

drop

top-level keys to leave out; defaults to the internal PUBLISH_RECORD_VOLATILE (objects, since_version, distributions, registrations, status)

Value

An md5 over the record's canonical JSON (names sorted at every level), so key order never matters and a changed value always does.
