# Diff nested JSON, API responses, and config snapshots before approving changes

Uses DeepDiff to compare structured objects deeply and return precise additions, removals, value changes, and deltas instead of noisy line-based diffs. Best when an agent is validating API payloads, configuration snapshots, or migration outputs where nesting and key paths matter.
