The Science of Text Comparison: How Diffing Works
At the core of every modern comparison tool lies the Myers Diff Algorithm. This algorithm seeks the "shortest edit script" to transform one text into another. By identifying the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS), we can accurately determine exactly which lines were added, which were moved, and which were deleted.
Our implementation runs entirely in your browser using efficient JavaScript logic. This means your sensitive code, proprietary configurations, and private documents never leave your machine—providing a 100% secure environment for data auditing.
Git Diff & The Unified Format
If you are a software engineer, you are likely familiar with the output of the Git diff documentation. The "Unified Diff" format has become the global standard for sharing changes between teams. Our inline view mode mirrors this standard, using the classic plus (+) and minus (-) indicators to represent code changes.
Removals (-)
Lines that exist in the original version but have been deleted or modified in the new one.
Additions (+)
New lines that have been inserted or updated in the modified version of the text.
