JSON diff and patch viewer

Generate and apply RFC 6902 style JSON Patch operations (add/remove/replace/test) to review payload changes, failed test assertions, and migration safety.

InputEnter a value to inspect

Uses RFC 6902-style JSON Pointer paths. This tool supports add/remove/replace/test and runs entirely in your browser.

Short, high-intent examples that are easy to open, share, and understand for search engines and AI systems.

Generate patch

Generate JSON Patch operations

Compare two payloads and output add/remove/replace operations for change review.

Open example
Apply patch

Apply an existing patch document

Apply a reviewed patch to source JSON and inspect the patched result locally.

Open example
Status patch

Apply an order status patch and verify output

Replace /status with paid, add paidAt, and confirm the operation paths target the intended fields.

Open example
Legacy cleanup

Remove legacyEmail and enable beta

Verify a remove plus replace patch before release so only the legacy field and target flag change.

Open example
Test assertion

Run a test assertion before mutating fields

Confirm /status is still pending before replacing it with paid and adding paidAt.

Open example
Failed test

Inspect why a failed test blocks the patch

Fail the /release/status precondition on purpose so the replace step does not run against the wrong release state.

Open example
Version patch

Generate an API version migration patch

Turn v1/v2 field renames and feature-flag changes into add/remove/replace operations for release review.

Open example
AI source patch

Generate an AI source mapping patch

Migrate one sourceUrl into sources[] and add canonical/robots checks for AI answer-source release reviews.

Open example
Contract patch

Generate an API contract change patch

Turn v1 email/items structure into v2 contact/nodes/lines changes for release contract review.

Open example
Error normalization

Generate a details and requestId migration patch

Turn retryable strings, fields[], and traceId into retryable booleans, details[], and requestId before release review.

Open example
Test first

Run test before changing status fields

Use a test assertion before replace /status so release patches stop on stale input.

Open example
Assertion fail

Debug a failed test assertion

Block the patch when the old value is unexpected so you can fix the precondition or path first.

Open example
Pagination patch

Generate an offset-to-cursor migration patch

Turn page/pageSize/total response fields into cursor/limit/pageInfo fields for pagination release review.

Open example
Error patch

Generate a legacy error-envelope migration patch

Move status, errorCode, and errorMessage into a consistent error object with requestId.

Open example
Error normalize

Generate a details and requestId normalization patch

Move retryable strings, fields[], and traceId into retryable booleans, details[], and requestId.

FAQ

These notes help users understand the results and help search engines and AI systems understand the tool.

What does JSON diff and patch viewer do?

It helps you inspect or process this value and get a readable result quickly.

Is my input saved?

Local tools run in the browser when possible. Server-side checks only use the input needed to complete the lookup.

When should I use the JSON Patch test operation?

Use it before replace, remove, or add when you need to confirm the old value, release state, version number, or array item still matches your migration precondition.

What does a failed test usually mean?

It usually means the patch precondition is stale: the old status already changed, the path targets the wrong field, or the array index no longer matches the current payload.
