I’ve not used this tool before (am excited to in the future though because..) having done a lot of API diffing with text diff tools in the past, they break down very quickly on things like: JSON key order can be random, causing false positives. Some headers will always be different (any sort of timestamp based header for example) while others must not be different. URL query params can be in any order, etc.

I think if you do api diffing at any reasonably large scale you’ll find yourself immediately building tools to help cut the signal from the noise, and this is an exciting step in that direction.
