Problem solved by Diff Anything
Compare JSON by structure, not line position

A focused workflow, on your computer.
No accounts, cloud comparison service, analytics, or telemetry.
The problem
Why the usual workflow gets in the way.
Formatting, property order, and large nested objects can bury the JSON changes that matter when a line-based diff treats the document as plain text.
The solution
How Diff Anything handles it.
Diff Anything parses both files and reports stable paths, change types, and typed values. You can add keyed or unordered array rules, ignore expected paths, and apply supported changes in either direction.
