Answer 1

I've been mantaining a json diff & patch library at github (yes, shameless plug):

https://github.com/benjamine/JsonDiffPatch

it handles long strings automatically using Neil Fraser's diff_match_patch lib. it works both on browsers and server (unit tests running on both env). (full feature list is on project page)

The only thing you probably would need, that's not implemented is the option to inject custom diff/patch functions for specific objects, but that doesn't sound hard to add, you're welcome to fork it, and even better send a pull request.
