There are no runtime dependencies and it should be easy to use.

You can use the javascript library jsondiffpatch with it since it get’s it’s diff format from it.

Currently the only function is diff

Example

Simple example:

iex> JsonDiffEx.diff %{"test": 1}, %{"test": 2}
%{test: [1, 2]}

Now with list:

iex> JsonDiffEx.diff %{"test": [1,2,3]}, %{"test": [2,3]}
%{test: %{"_0" => [1, 0, 0], "_t" => "a"}}

Now with a map in the map:

iex> JsonDiffEx.diff %{"test": %{"1": 1}}, %{"test": %{"1": 2}}
%{test: %{"1": [1, 2]}}

Now with a map in an list in the map:

iex> JsonDiffEx.diff %{"test": [%{"1": 1}]}, %{"test": [%{"1": 2}]}
%{test: %{"0" => %{"1": [1, 2]}, "_t" => "a"}}
