NAME

       jsondiff-jdiff - Compare JSON and JSON-like structures

SYNOPSIS

       jsondiff-jdiff [-s SYNTAX] [-i N] base-file target-file
       jsondiff-jdiff [-s SYNTAX] [-i N] --patch base-file patch-file
       jsondiff-jdiff -h

DESCRIPTION

       Compares two JSON files and returns a JSON representation of the differences between them.

       Differences  are  represented  according to the specified syntax and can be pretty-printed
       using a specified indentation.

       The --patch option can be used to instead apply the changes described by a JSON diff to  a
       JSON file.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

       base-file
              The first JSON file to compare. This is the source or base file.

       target-file
              The second JSON file to compare. This is the target or comparison file.

       patch-file
              The jsondiff patch file to apply. Only used with --patch.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show a help message and exit.

       -p, --patch
              Instead  of producing a difference file, apply the differences from the second file
              to the first file.

       -s SYNTAX, --syntax SYNTAX
              Define the output syntax. The available options  are  "compact",  "symmetric",  and
              "explicit". The default is "compact".

       -i INDENT, --indent INDENT
              Set  the  number  of  spaces  for  indentation  in  the output JSON. By default, no
              indentation is applied to the output JSON.
