// FullMatch means provided arguments are deeply equal.
//
// SupersetMatch means first argument is a superset of a second argument. In
// this context being a superset means that for each object or array in the
// hierarchy which don't match exactly, it must be a superset of another one.
// For example:
//
//     {"a": 123, "b": 456, "c": [7, 8, 9]}
//
// Is a superset of:
//
//     {"a": 123, "c": [7, 8]}
//
// NoMatch means there is no match.
//
// The rest of the difference types mean that one of or both JSON documents are
// invalid JSON.
//
// Returned string uses a format similar to pretty printed JSON to show the
// human-readable difference between provided JSON documents. It is important
// to understand that returned format is not a valid JSON and is not meant
// to be machine readable.
