Response Comparison

Flamingo lets you compare the response of any two tabs side by side.

How to Compare

1. Send a request and get a response
2. Click the Compare button in the response toolbar
3. Select a tab with an existing response to compare against
4. Both responses appear side by side in a modal

Comparison Features

• Monaco Editors — Both panels use syntax-highlighted, read-only editors
• Metadata — Each panel shows status code, timing, and size
• Language Detection — Each panel auto-detects JSON, XML, or plaintext

Example

// Left panel: Tab A response
// Status: 200 OK | 142ms | 1.2 KB
{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "John",
  "email": "john@example.com"
}

// Right panel: Tab B response
// Status: 200 OK | 156ms | 1.3 KB
{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john.doe@example.com"
}

Use Cases

• Compare responses before and after an API change
• Compare paginated results
• Verify that a bug fix returned the expected output
• A/B test different request configurations
