Compare workflow export files between environments

I want to be able to compare different workflows from different environments to see if there are any differences. Sometimes a change is made in one environment and we don't remember if the change was made in the other environment.

I was excited about the option to "export to file" in Workflow (cloud). It exports a large .json file that includes sections for workflowDefinition and webform so I can open up in a text editor (NotePad++) and use the Compare tool. But the export file contains so many escaped characters like \\\" etc and when I try to clean it up and format the JSON, it crashes my text editor.

Can you develop a faster, cleaner method to find out the differences between workflows? Perhaps having an option to create a cleaner export file that can be compared to the other?
