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
