  "skills": ["Astro", "TypeScript"]
}
Modified JSON (Right)

Specifications & Gotchas

Unsorted Key Differences

Differences in property order can cause false diff positives unless keys are normalized first.

Knowledge

Frequently Asked Questions

Does key ordering affect the JSON diff?

Our diff tool normalizes keys so differences in property order do not show as false positives.

Can I compare large JSON files?

Yes, the diff tool operates in-browser with fast performance on large JSON datasets.
