Structural JSON comparison

Compare two JSON documents structurally. Find added, removed and changed properties with JSON Pointer paths and arrays compared by index.

100,000 characters and 64 levels. Numbers that would lose precision are rejected.

Objects: key order does not matter. Arrays: compared by index. JSON Pointer paths. Maximum 500 differences.

What this tool does

Find data differences without treating object key order as a change. Arrays retain positional meaning.

How to use it

  1. Paste the original and new JSON documents.
  2. Process to validate both and compare their structures.
  3. Review paths, difference types and before/after values.

Verifiable example

Input
Original {"a":1,"b":2}; new {"b":2,"a":3}.
Expected result
One changed difference at /a; b is unchanged.

Limitations to review

  • 100,000 characters per document, 64 levels and up to 500 differences.
  • Rejects duplicate/reserved keys and numbers that would lose precision. Does not apply patches or reorder arrays.
