Frequently Asked Questions

How does the comparison engine work?

It uses a structural diffing algorithm that analyzes the keys and values of both JSON objects at every level, identifying exactly what has changed, been added, or deleted.

Can I compare files with different key orders?

Yes, the comparator performs a semantic analysis of the JSON structure, so it can accurately identify changes even if keys are in a different order.

Is there a limit to the file size I can compare?

While browser memory is the main limit, our comparator is designed to handle files up to several megabytes smoothly.

Can I export the differences found?

Yes, you can export the comparison results as a shareable workspace link or download the modified data directly from the integrated editor.

Does it support N-way comparison?

Our advanced comparator supports up to 6-way side-by-side comparison, allowing you to compare multiple JSON files against a common base simultaneously.

How do I resolve conflicts between JSON files?

The tool provides a side-by-side view where you can manually merge changes or select specific versions of keys to create a unified final document.
