Are there any merge tools that offer features for this a lot more sophisticated than basic text comparison?

  Powershell has Compare-Object, which will diff .NET objects. It has the convenient alias "diff". JSON can be converted to .NET objects by ConvertFrom-JSON. So you can import 2 JSON files and diff them in Powershell.

  Not merge, but jq can diff, and it can also do a consistent dump (jq -cS) for you. Edit: to clarify, jq -S does deep keys sorting. $ echo '{"z":{"b": "second", "a": "first"}, "x": 4, "y": 7}' | jq -S { "x": 4, "y": 7, "z": { "a": "first", "b": "second" } }
