Tired of messy JSON or need to compare files quickly? I made a suite of free, private online JSON tools!
Built a Tool for Deep JSON Comparison - Seeking Input on Array Diff Visualization
Semantic json diff library for .Net
Diff two large JSON array or objects
Hey everyone, I wanted to share a set of free online JSON tools I've been working on, designed to make your daily dev life a bit easier. We often deal with JSON, and I found myself constantly needing quick ways to:
β Validate & Beautify JSON: Check for syntax errors and make unreadable JSON clean and structured.
βοΈ Compare JSON: Easily spot the differences between two JSON files. Super handy for API versioning or debugging!
π JSON Difference: Get a clear, highlighted view of what's changed between two JSON payloads. These tools are built to be super fast, private (your data stays in your browser!), and can handle even large JSON payloads without breaking a sweat. Give them a try and let me know what you think! Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Hey r/golang community,
I've been grappling with a recurring challenge in my work: comparing large, deeply nested JSON files. To tackle this, I created a CLI tool in Go that helps highlight differences between two JSON files with high precision.
The tool is relatively compact, about 200 lines of code, and handles different types of changes well, including additions, deletions, and type mismatches. However, I'm looking to improve how differences within arrays are displayed. Currently, if an item at the beginning of an array is modified or removed, all subsequent items are marked as changed, which isn't very helpful for quick analysis.
Here's where I could use your collective wisdom:
Visualization Techniques: Does anyone have suggestions for more intuitive ways to display array differences? Maybe a method that effectively pinpoints and isolates changes without cascading the entire array?
Code Feedback: I'd love to get some feedback on the implementation. I'm sure there are optimizations and best practices that I could apply to enhance the tool's performance and usability.
I'm looking forward to your insights and suggestions. Let's make JSON comparisons easier for everyone!

Thank you all in advance!
