Questions & answers

01

Does key order matter?

No, for objects the keys are compared by name, not by their order in the document.

02

How are array differences shown?

Array items are compared by their position (index), so an item added in the middle will shift and report every following index as changed.

03

Is JSON Diff Checker free to use?
