JSONDIFF

Based on: https://github.com/elgris/jsondiff

A simple little tool that produces readable diff of 2 JSON-able (read "convertible to map[string]interface{}") objects. Useful for diagnostics or debugging.

A command line interface that uses this is: https://github.com/pschlump/check-json-syntax It also provides syntax checking for JSON files.

Installation

go get github.com/elgris/jsondiff

Examples of the output

Limitation

• Coloured output tested with terminals only. This only works on Mac and Linux. I will modify this so it works on windows in a few days.
• The tool converts input data into map[string]interface{} or []interface{} with json encoding/decoding. Hence, types of input map will change during unmarshal step: integers become float64 and so on (check https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/ for details).
