Explicit working sample

[{"id":"1","amount":25,"active":true},{"id":"2","amount":null}]

Review observed field and type changes between JSON datasets. Compares inferred top-level scalar object fields. Missing-field requiredness is observed, not contractual. Reports removed fields, newly missing fields and type-set changes as compatibility risks, not certified breaking changes. Arrays must contain scalar objects; nested fields require flattening first.

Prepare the input

Review observed field and type changes between JSON datasets.

Paste the supported structured data or log text. The sample loads only when explicitly selected and can be undone.

Keep the useful output

Review the summary and result records. Transformation tools retain separate change, rejected-record or diagnostics datasets where relevant. Choose the dataset before exporting; a report and a cleaned dataset serve different purposes.

CSV exports protect formula-like text. JSON keeps data portable without making an Excel workbook. Reports and editable backups may contain private source values; download only what you intend to share. No automatic account storage or server processing is used.
