Textually diffing JSON

Question

As part of my release processes, I have to compare some JSON configuration data used by my application. As a first attempt, I just pretty-printed the JSON and diff\'ed them

Answer 1

So, I wrote a tool to do unified diffs of JSON files a while ago that might be of some interest.

Some examples of input and output for the tool appear on the github page.
