What Is JSON Normalization?
JSON normalization produces consistent, canonical JSON by sorting all object keys alphabetically at every level. This removes key-order differences that can cause false diffs in version control and testing.
- Version Control: Clean diffs without key-order noise.
- API Testing: Predictable response comparisons.
- Canonical JSON: Consistent output for signing or hashing.
