1 year ago I think that the JSON Merge format is what you're after.
Given these two inputs: {"bar":[4,5,6],"foo":[1,2,3]} and {"bar":[4,5,6],"foo":[1,2,7,3]} a merge diff would look like this:
{"foo":[1,2,7,3]}That's just the part that changed.
You can output the diff in merge format with the -f merge option. E.g. jd -f merge a.json b.json.
Does that answer your question?
Hello!
I'm looking for a way to output only the changed arrays after comparing two files. Am I missing something or does jd only allow for a merged output? I want to retain the structure of the file but reduce it down to only the changed data.
