Finds elements that exist in either array but not in both — the symmetric difference operation. Access via MCP in Cursor or Windsurf, or call GET /v1/array/symmetric-difference directly. Pass two arrays like [1,2,3] and [2,3,4] to get [1,4]. Returns deterministic results perfect for set operations in AI workflows.

}Items that appear in either array but not in both. If array A has [1,2,3] and array B has [2,3,4], the symmetric difference is [1,4].
Connect TinyFn's MCP server and call the array_symmetric_difference tool with your two arrays. Perfect for AI agents comparing datasets or finding unique elements.
Implementation varies by tool — some preserve insertion order, others don't. Check the specific response format for your use case.
Yes, works with mixed types like strings, numbers, booleans. Elements are compared by value, so [1, '1'] treats the number 1 and string '1' as different.
Regular difference is A minus B (items in A but not B). Symmetric difference is (A minus B) plus (B minus A) — items unique to either array.
