Using our JSON diff tool is simple:
The diff results use color coding to indicate changes:
The tool first formats both JSON documents with consistent indentation, then performs a line-by-line comparison. This approach makes it easy to see exactly where changes occurred.
Yes, you can compare JSON files up to 10MB each. The comparison runs entirely in your browser, so performance depends on your device.
If the JSON is invalid, the tool will show an error message above the editor in real-time. In Chrome and Firefox, you can click "Locate in editor" to jump directly to the error location.
Your JSON data never leaves your browser. All comparison and processing happens locally on your device.
