Hi all


Are there any ideas / plans to use meld as tool to compare json files?
Comparing json files as plain text files doesn't provide best results. It's better if there is some context-aware comparison on each level of json strucure.

Or maybe yaml files. As json is just subset of yaml.

Was there discussion regarding such functionality?

I'm not sure what you had in mind, but if you're thinking of doing a structure aware comparison, then no that's not a thing that Meld is likely to do. The algorithms for doing this are extremely different to a standard diff, and the user interface would also have to be quite different.
