Json Diff

Data REST API MCP

Returns the semantic differences between two JSON documents as a list of added, removed and modified paths with their old and new values, plus counts. Compares structure and values, not text lines; key order is ignored by default.

This page documents the HTTP endpoint POST /api/tools/json-diff/execute. See the MCP reference →
