What is JSON Deep Diff?
JSON Deep Diff is a free browser tool that compares two JSON documents and reports every difference. It recurses into nested objects and arrays, classifies each change as added, removed, or changed, and shows the exact JSON Pointer path so you can locate and understand every edit.
Key Benefits
- Catch every change including deeply nested values
- Understand diffs visually with color-coded old and new values
- Copy machine-readable JSON Pointer paths instantly
- Keep sensitive data private with local-only processing
- Debug API responses and configuration files faster
Common Use Cases
- •Compare API responses before and after a code change
- •Review configuration file edits across environments
- •Audit data migration or transformation results
- •Verify merge results in JSON-based databases
- •Debug differences between expected and actual test fixtures
How to Compare Two JSON Objects
- Paste the original JSON: Enter the first JSON document in the Original JSON panel.
- Paste the new JSON: Enter the second JSON document in the New JSON panel.
- Review the diff: The tool compares both documents recursively and lists every added, removed, and changed value with its JSON Pointer path.
- Copy the results: Copy an individual change or all differences as formatted JSON.
Key Features
- Compare nested objects and arrays recursively with full path tracking.
- Classify every change as added, removed, or changed for instant clarity.
- Display valid JSON Pointer paths following RFC 6901.
- Color-coded visual diff with old and new values side by side.
- Copy individual changes or the entire diff as JSON.
- Runs entirely in your browser with no data uploaded.
