Question 1

How do I compare two JSON files?

Accepted Answer

To compare two JSON files, paste the first JSON document in the left panel and the second JSON document in the right panel, then click 'Compare JSON'. The tool will analyze both documents and highlight the differences between them.

Question 2

What types of differences can the JSON Compare tool detect?

Accepted Answer

Our JSON Compare tool can detect three types of differences: added properties or values (present in the right JSON but not in the left), removed properties or values (present in the left JSON but not in the right), and modified values (properties that exist in both but have different values).

Question 3

Can I compare JSON files with different structures?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our tool can compare JSON files with completely different structures. It will identify all the properties that exist in one file but not the other, as well as properties that exist in both but have different values.

Question 4

How are nested objects and arrays compared?

Accepted Answer

The comparison is deep and recursive, meaning it examines all levels of nested objects and arrays. Differences at any level of nesting will be detected and displayed with their full path for easy identification.

Question 5

Can I see a visual representation of the differences?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our tool provides a visual representation of the differences with color coding: green for additions, red for removals, and amber for modifications. This makes it easy to quickly identify and understand the differences between your JSON documents.
