Frequently asked questions

Does key order matter?

No. Objects are compared by key, so the same data in a different order counts as identical.

How are arrays compared?

Index by index. Inserting an item at the start shows the following items as changed.

What is a type change?

When a value changes kind, for example from the number 1 to the string "1", or from an object to an array.

Can I compare API responses?

Yes. Paste two responses to spot what changed between versions or environments.

Is my data uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you paste is sent to a server.
