Does key order matter?

Not unless you want it to. Choose Ignore key order and objects with the same keys and values count as equal.

Can I compare JSON arrays by id?

Yes. Type the key in Match items by, for example id, and items are paired by that key wherever they are in the array.

Can I get a patch from the diff?

Yes. The JSON Patch tool creates an RFC 6902 patch from two versions and can apply one.

JSON Diff

JSON Diff and Compare

Paste two JSON documents to see exactly what changed between them. Bracely compares the data, not the text, so formatting and key order do not get in the way.

How to use it

Paste the original JSON on the left and the changed version in Compare with.
Choose side by side, changes only, or a list of changes.
Optionally ignore key order, ignore keys such as updatedAt, or match array items by id.

What it does

Structural comparison that understands objects and arrays
Spots inserted and removed array items instead of marking everything after them as changed
Ignore keys you do not care about
Create a JSON Patch (RFC 6902) from the two versions
API change checker that flags breaking changes between two payloads or schemas
