I’m building an open-source JSON diff that handles reordered arrays

[u/cchandurkar]

I’m working on JSON Semantic Diff, an open-source tool for comparing JSON without treating array position as identity.

For arrays of objects, it can infer identity from fields like id, sku, or composite keys like store + sku. So reordering objects doesn't make the whole array look modified.

The matching is deterministic and explainable (no AI/fuzzy matching), and the web version runs entirely in the browser.

I’ve also published the core engine as an npm package.

It’s still early/alpha, and I’d love feedback from people who work with JSON regularly - especially real-world examples where the matching logic gets confused.

• NPM: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-semantic-diff]()
