Frequently Asked Questions

Does key ordering affect the diff comparison?

Not when 'Sort Keys Alphabetically' is checked. The engine recursively normalizes object key order, meaning { "a": 1, "b": 2 } and { "b": 2, "a": 1 } will be correctly treated as identical.

Can this tool diff nested objects and arrays?

Yes! The comparison engine recursively traverses all levels of nested objects and arrays, displaying exact property paths (such as user.preferences.locale).
