Merging JSON files using text pad

Question

I am looking to merge two json messages. What I found is that it is a lot more difficult than I thought.. it needs to be parsed and serialized. The new JSON looks nothing like either input JSON file...

Why can't just cut and paste to generate a new JSON file? Do I have to do it programmatically?

Answer 1

you can do it by hand since json is only plain javascript after if you have an insane amount to process doing it programmatically would help.

Answer 2

Example messages would be helpful. If both represent the same data set then cut and paste should be fine.

You can format the JSON at JSON Format and that may make your job easier.
