What JSON Diff does
JSON Diff is a web-based tool that lets users compare two JSON objects side-by-side. It automatically formats both inputs for easier comparison and highlights added, removed, and changed keys with structural awareness, making it useful for developers troubleshooting APIs or validating data transformations. The result displays the differences clearly so users can quickly identify what has changed between the two data sets.
