About Deep Merge

Deep merging recursively combines nested objects. If a key exists in both objects and both values are objects, they are merged. Otherwise, the second value overwrites the first.

Real-time Processing

All processing happens locally in your browser. Large files are handled in memory and never uploaded to any server.

JSON Merge — No Uploads Required

The JSON Merge tool allows you to join two or more JSON structures into one. You can choose between a shallow merge (top-level keys only) or a deep recursive merge. It's particularly useful for combining default configurations with environment-specific overrides or aggregating data from multiple API endpoints into a single object.
