Frequently Asked Questions

What types of JSON differences can be detected?

The tool detects added properties, removed properties, modified values, array differences, and nested object changes. It provides detailed visual output showing exactly what changed between the two JSON objects.

Can I compare large JSON files?

Yes, the tool can handle large JSON files. For very large files, you may want to increase the maximum comparison depth in the settings to ensure all nested structures are compared.

Does it support JSON Schema validation?

While primarily focused on structural comparison, the tool can help identify schema differences by comparing the structure and types of JSON objects.

Can I save or export the comparison results?

Currently, you can view the results in the browser. For saving results, you can copy the difference output or take a screenshot of the comparison.

What if my JSON has special characters or Unicode?

The tool fully supports Unicode characters and special characters. All JSON parsing is done with proper encoding support.
