Problem

How would you implement a custom deep-comparison function to validate two complex nested JSON API responses?

Implement deep_compare(response_a, response_b) for already parsed JSON values. Object key order must not matter, array order must matter, and values must be compared recursively. Return True only when both responses have the same structure and values, treating JSON numeric values such as 1 and 1.0 as equal. Example: {"a": 1, "b": [2]} and {"b": [2], "a": 1} return True; [1, 2] and [2, 1] return False.

Constraints

Inputs are valid JSON values already parsed into Python dictionaries, lists, strings, numbers, booleans, or None.
Object keys are strings.
Object key order is ignored.
Array order is significant.
The maximum total number of nested values is 10^5.
The maximum nesting depth is 1,000.
