JSON Diff

How the comparison works

Object property order and formatting (spaces, indentation) never count as a difference; a value's type does — 1, "1", true, and "true" are always different from each other, and null is a real value, different from a missing key. Arrays stay ordered: array items are compared by position, not by guessing an identity field like id or name — inserting or removing an item in the middle of a large array of objects can show many entries changing below that point, since Docspira never assumes which field makes two objects "the same" for arbitrary JSON. A plain value moving to a different position in an array of otherwise-unchanged items is shown as "Moved" rather than a removal plus an addition.
