JSON Diff Tool – Compare Two JSON Objects Online

Paste two JSON objects and instantly see every added, removed, and changed field. with exact key paths, old values, and new values. Filter by change type or search by key path. 100% private, runs in your browser.

Use Cases

API Debugging
Compare request and response payloads. Pretty-print captures with the JSON Formatter, then isolate fields using the JSONPath tester.
Version Comparison
Diff configs, schemas, or snapshots between releases. Pair with JSON Schema when contracts move in lockstep with data.
Backend Changes
Track how an API response changed after deploy: added keys, removed keys, and type drift. Follow up with JSON Flatten when normalizing nested payloads for analytics.
Test Assertions
Compare expected vs. actual JSON in CI output. Validate both sides parse with the formatter, then paste into this diff. Export CSV baselines via JSON → CSV when stakeholders work in sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I compare deeply nested JSON objects?

Yes. The diff is fully recursive. It traverses nested objects and arrays and reports changes at every depth level with exact dot-notation paths like $.user.address.city.

What does the path in the results mean?

Paths use JSONPath dot notation starting with $ (the root). For example, $.items[0].price means the "price" field of the first item in the "items" array.

Can I share a diff with a colleague?

Yes. Click Share URL to encode both JSON payloads into the URL hash. Anyone with the link can open the same diff instantly.
