Array changes use bracket notation (e.g., "items[2]")
Filter Options
Toggle "Show Only Differences" to focus on changes
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the comparison algorithm work?
Our algorithm performs a deep recursive comparison, traversing nested objects and arrays to identify additions, deletions, and modifications at any level of nesting. Each change is tracked with its complete path for easy identification.
Can I compare arrays with different orders?
Currently, array comparison is index-based, meaning [1,2,3] and [3,2,1] will show differences. We're working on order-independent array comparison for future updates.
What happens with very large JSON files?
The tool can handle large JSON files, but performance depends on your browser and system resources. For very large files (>10MB), consider breaking them into smaller chunks for faster comparison.
Can I save or export the comparison results?
Yes! Use the 'Download Report' button to save a comprehensive JSON report containing all differences, statistics, and metadata. Perfect for documentation or sharing with team members.
How accurate is the comparison for nested objects?
The comparison is highly accurate for nested objects, using recursive traversal to examine every property at any depth. It handles complex object hierarchies and provides detailed path information for each change.
Can I compare JSON with different data types?
Yes, the tool handles mixed data types including strings, numbers, booleans, null values, arrays, and objects. It will detect type changes and show them as modifications.
Is there a limit to the nesting depth?
There's no practical limit to nesting depth, but very deeply nested structures may impact performance. The tool will process any valid JSON structure regardless of complexity.
