Generates diff between two JSON files

Project description

Compares two JSON files (http://json.org) and generates a new JSON file with the result. Allows exclusion of some keys from the comparison, or in other way to include only some keys.

The development repository is at https://gitorious.org/json_diff/mainline Patches and pull requests are welcome, but please keep the script compatible with python 2.4.

Released under MIT/X11 license.
