Peter and I had a look at the diffoscope output, and while the JSON
version is definitely good for human parsing, having the text version
in addition for humans to read would also be nice.

Could you instead store both the JSON and text versions ?

Just run this:

$ diffoscope --text differences.txt --json differences.json rootfs.tar rootfs.tar.before

And you'll get both the JSON and text version in files.

Best regards,

Thomas
