HOW IT WORKS

How to use it

  1. Place the original JSON in the first editor and the revised version in the second. Results use JSON Pointer paths.
  2. Object key order is ignored. Arrays are compared by index, so reordering can produce multiple changes.
  3. The report is limited to 500 changes and explicitly marks truncation.
Is null the same as a missing field?

No. Missing fields are reported as additions or removals.

What are the limits?

Each input may be up to 2 MiB, with at most 100 nesting levels.
