By default, it merges objects by combining their fields and overwrites other types, but you can customize behavior per field using schema keywords like mergeStrategy (e.g., 'append' to concatenate arrays, 'version' to track historical values). The package depends on jsonschema and is designed for scenarios where different authors contribute to shared documents or where you need to track document evolution across revisions.\n\nThe library works by accepting a base document and a head document, then producing a merged result. You can chain multiple merges to build up a document from many sources. It also provides a way to generate an output schema that describes the structure of merged results, which may differ from the input schema when strategies like 'version' transform field types.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need schema-driven JSON merging and can tolerate an abandoned package. The library is stable (no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, permissive license), but you should validate input documents yourself and not expect bug fixes or compatibility updates. Best suited for internal tools or stable use cases where you control the merge logic and document structure."},"id":"jsonmerge","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsonmerge","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsonmerge.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jsonmerge/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-07-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jsonmerge","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Merge a series of JSON documents."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1313042,"position":4072,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.9.2"}
