⚖️ Text Diff

How does text comparison work?

The tool compares texts line by line, showing additions (in green) and deletions (in red). Lines present in the first text but not the second are marked as removed, and lines present in the second text but not the first are marked as added.

What format is used for showing differences?

Differences are displayed using standard diff notation with "-" for removed lines and "+" for added lines. Identical lines are not shown to focus on actual changes between the texts.

Can I compare large texts efficiently?

The tool works well for moderately large texts, but performance may decrease with very large files. For extensive comparisons, specialized diff tools or command-line utilities may be more appropriate.

What are common use cases for text diff?

Text diff is useful for comparing code versions, reviewing document edits, tracking configuration changes, verifying file integrity, and identifying modifications in collaborative writing projects.
