It's not too hard to create a function like this. Just loop through each field in the second object, and if it's not present in the first or the value is different than the first, put that field in the return object.

var compareJSON = function(obj1, obj2) {
  var ret = {};
  for(var i in obj2) {
    if(!obj1.hasOwnProperty(i) || obj2[i] !== obj1[i]) {
      ret[i] = obj2[i];
    }
  }
  return ret;
};

You can see it in action on this demo page.

r/dotnet on Reddit: Semantic json diff library for .Net

April 15, 2025 -

Looking for something either like Python's deepdiff, or what jsondiff.com can do, but as a .Net library.
Basically something that will take two json documents and give you a human readable set of differences.

I've looked a bit, but surprisingly haven't been able to find anything.

I’ve used https://github.com/nrkno/Quibble for this recently. Seems to work well. I ended up writing some custom code to sort the JSON properties alphabetically before comparing which seemed to improve results for objects with a larger number of differences

Is there a library that allows to easily do diffchecks between two json?

I mean, you could stringify them both and check if they are equal or not… would be a quick and dirty way. More on reddit.com

jsondiff: JSON diff library for Go based on RFC6902 (JSON Patch)

To give a bit of context, I was working on a Kubernetes Dynamic Admission controller recently at work (a mutating webhook to be precise), and originally went the naive/easy way by crafting the patch "as it came", but realised that keeping context of which changes (in the sense of which JSON Patch operations were already added) were made previously was tedious. Instead, it made more sense to simply mutate the original `corev1.Pod` resource and generate the patch with the original and mutated version of the Pod object. Of course the library can be used for any other needs. The package is pretty much "complete features-wise". I am planning to add a WASM-based UI to test the library in a browser soon, mainly for fun. Feedback appreciated. More on reddit.com
