API Diff
NetworkCompare two API responses or JSON payloads side by side
Paste two versions of an API response, either as plain text for a classic line-by-line diff or as JSON for a structural comparison, and see exactly what changed rather than eyeballing two large payloads. In JSON mode both objects get flattened to dot-notation paths and compared value by value, so you get a precise list of fields added, removed, or changed, which is useful for catching a breaking change in a PR that touches a serializer or an integration test comparing a mock against a real response. Arrays are compared by position as whole values rather than recursed into, so a reordered array will show up as changed even when the same items are still present elsewhere. It handles JSON specifically; there's no YAML or XML support, so those need converting to JSON first.
How to use API Diff
- 1.Paste two JSON API responses (e.g. before/after a deploy) side by side to see exactly which fields were added, removed, or changed.
- 2.Use it to catch accidental breaking changes when reviewing a pull request that touches a serializer or response shape.
- 3.Compare a mocked response against a real one during integration testing to spot subtle type or key mismatches.
