You can use: diff <(jq 'keys' file1.json) <(jq 'keys' file2.json)
This will just give you the list of keys that are different.

I've been using you command. But it seems that it does not fully order all the json. I've found this blog. It tells us to use a filter walk.filter which is documented in the blog. And then you have a sorted json with jq -S -f walk.filter file1.json
