Compare JSON
Find structural JSON differences with path filters and a readable before-and-after change report.
How it works & useful details
How it works
Compare values by structure. Object key order and whitespace do not matter; array positions do. A changed type appears as one change at its path. Filter the preview to inspect changes; the export always includes every change, up to 10,000 and the output limit. The report is a list of differences, not a JSON Patch document.
Limits & privacy
Up to 1,000,000 characters, 50,000 values and 64 levels. Live previews pause above 40,000 characters; run the tool to process the full supported input. Imported files must be UTF-8 and under 1 MB. Your data stays on this device.
Numbers use JavaScript decimal precision. Unsupported large integers are rejected; quote identifiers to keep all digits. Duplicate object names keep their last value. Transforms preserve data, not source whitespace or number spelling.
Paths use JSON Pointer: an empty path selects the root, ~0 escapes a tilde, and ~1 escapes a slash.
