JSON to tabular format via JSONformatter.org and JSON2table.com

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/10

Two interesting sites to ease transforming JSON fragments in log-messages to a table system, for instance Excel.

  1. Paste the bits in [WayBack] Best JSON Pretty Print Online then fix any syntax errors.
  2. Copy from there to [WayBack] json2table.com and press the triangle button (run)
  3. Copy either the tabular or tree result to your favourite program.
  4. Format any numbers for readability. I really like the Custom format ##0.00E+00 that just shows the exponents in multiples of 3 (so kilo, mega, giga, etc)[WayBack] formatting – How can I format bytes a cell in Excel as KB, MB, GB etc? – Stack Overflow

This way I copied the example code into adjecent Excel areas, so I could compare the values and calculate memory increase of a Delphi application.

… compare two JSON structures and pin-point … the differences – – Nicholas Ring – Google+

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/08/20

I’ve added a few WayBack/Archive.is links to the interesting comments by Zoë Peterson from Scooter Software (of Beyond Compare fame) at [WayBack] … compare two JSON structures and pin-point … the differences – – Nicholas Ring – Google+:

Beyond Compare 4 has an optional “JSON sorted” file format that uses jq to pretty print and sort JSON data before comparing it. It’s not included out of the box yet, but you can get a copy here:

If you’re interested in an actual algorithm and not just an app, I don’t have a suggestion handy, but could dig one up. Tree alignment is more complicated than sequence alignment and we did do research into it, but it was quite a few years ago and didn’t get incorporated into BC. XML alignment algorithms were being actively researched back in the aughts and they should trivially transfer to JSON.
…

It looks like our research mostly ended around 2002, and I wasn’t personally involved in it, so I don’t know how helpful this will be, but here’s what I have:

The general idea in the thread is that JSON – though not as formalised as XML – does have structure, so if you can normalise it, then XML ways of differencing should work.

Normalisation also means that you need to normalise any floating point, date time, escaping, quoting, etc. Maybe not for the faint of heart.

Stuff on my research list thanks to Martijn Laarman (@Mpdreamz)

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/08

Quite some time ago, I attended a great introductory elasticsearch/kibana workshop by Martijn Laarman (@Mpdreamz, github.com/Mpdreamz and SO martijn-laarman) that lead me into researching a lot of interesting new things:
