high-performance diff and patch library

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The diff match and patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the operations required for synchronizing plain text. This library implements Myer's diff algorithm which is generally considered to be the best general-purpose diff. A layer of pre-diff speedups and post-diff cleanups surround the diff algorithm, improving both performance and output quality. This library also implements a Bitap matching algorithm at the heart of a flexible matching and patching strategy.
