JSON Compare

Compare and validate JSON objects.

Original JSON (Left)
Modified JSON (Right)

Visually compare two JSON objects and highlight differences. Runs 100% locally to ensure sensitive data is never exposed.

Why This Tool Exists

Finding a typo or a changed field in a 5,000-line JSON response is impossible for a human. Traditional "diff" tools are often command-line based or require uploading your files to a server. Uploading your JSON logs or configuration files to a public "JSON Diff" website is a major security risk. These files often contain PII (Personally Identifiable Information), internal naming schemes, or even keys. PrivaQuickTools JSON Compare solves this by running a diff algorithm (Myers Diff Algorithm) entirely in your browser. You get a clear, color-coded visual comparison of what changed, added, or removed, without a single byte leaving your machine.

I spent 4 hours debugging a production outage only to realize a config file had a boolean flipped from "true" to "false" deep in a nested object. Eye-balling it failed me. I built this tool to make sure I never miss a diff again, without risking data leakage.

Key Capabilities

Core features that make this tool powerful.

Privacy First: Files never leave your device.

Instant: No upload or download wait times.

Secure: Local processing guarantees data safety.

Free: No subscriptions or hidden fees.

How It Works

Understanding the processing logic.

A visual semantic diff tool for JSON: - **Modes:** Side-by-Side or Unified view. - **Logic:** Compares usage, not just text (ignores whitespace changes unless significant). - **Navigation:** Jump between changes with 'Next'/'Prev' buttons.

Accuracy & Reliability

Standard browser-based processing logic.

Who Is This For?

DevOps

Compare Kubernetes manifests or Terraform state files safely.

QA Engineers

Verify that an API response matches the expected schema.

Common Mysteries & Fixes

Key Ordering

JSON keys are technically unordered, but our tool tries to align them. Diffs might look larger if keys are scrambled.

Large Files

Diffing multi-megabyte files is CPU intensive and might freeze the tab for a few seconds.

Real-World Scenarios

Quick Processing

Process files without verifying server security.

Offline Work

Use the tool without an internet connection.

Privacy & Security Guaranteed

We do not store, view, or upload your files. All processing happens in your browser's memory. When you close the tab, all data is wiped from memory.

Good to Know

Large files depends on your device RAM. Processing massive video/PDFs may be slower on mobile devices.

Benefits

  • Local ProcessingData stays on your machine, always.
  • No InstallationWorks instantly in your browser.
  • Zero Cost100% free and open.
  • UnlimitedNo artificial limits on file count.

When Not To Use

While we aim for perfection, browser-based tools have limits. This tool might not be the best fit for:

  • Extremely large files (e.g., video over 2GB)
  • Batch processing thousands of files at once
  • Workflows requiring server-side collaboration or cloud storage
