A Node.js CLI tool and library that computes structural diffs between JSON files or objects, showing colored, human-readable differences. It can also be used programmatically via its JavaScript API.
Use cases
- compare two json files from the command line
- show structural differences between json documents
- diff json api responses in tests
- get raw json output of a diff programmatically
- compare json ignoring key order and value precision
When to choose
- you need a quick CLI to diff JSON files with colored output
- you want a small library to diff JSON objects in Node.js code
- you need options like key exclusion, sorting, or numeric precision in comparisons
When to avoid
- you need to diff YAML, XML, or other formats
- you need semantic JSON diffing with JSON Patch/RFC 6902 output
- you are not in a Node.js/JavaScript environment
