- Optionally ignore array order.
- Review the list of changes with their paths.
Frequently asked questions
Does key order matter?
No. {"a":1,"b":2} and {"b":2,"a":1} are treated as equal.
What does “ignore array order” do?
It compares arrays as sets, so [1,2,3] and [3,2,1] are equal and only added or removed items are listed.
