Frequently Asked Questions About Online Calculators

Does it call my API?

No. Paste or open two saved JSON responses; the comparison runs in the browser and does not make a request to the API.

Can I ignore dynamic fields?

Yes. Enter comma-separated JSON paths such as meta.requestId or timestamp.

Will my original file be changed?

The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the API response and metadata diff.

What should I check before using the result?

Open the API response and metadata diff in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.

Separate noise from a contract change

Ignore requestId, timestamps, or generated links when they are expected to change. Keep business fields in the result so a regression is still visible.

Before downloading the result

Compare the API response and metadata diff with the original while both are fresh; destinations differ, and a quick check here saves a re-upload later.
