Question 1

What diff algorithm does the text comparison use?

Accepted Answer

The tool uses an advanced diff algorithm that efficiently identifies insertions, deletions, and modifications between two texts. It produces minimal, accurate diffs similar to those used in professional version control systems like Git. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to any server.

Question 2

Can I compare at the character level or line level?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can switch between character-level and line-level comparison modes. Character mode highlights individual character changes within lines, while line mode shows which entire lines were added, removed, or modified. Both modes use color coding for easy identification. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to any server.

Question 3

Can it handle large files?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the text comparison tool efficiently handles large files with thousands of lines. The diff algorithm is optimized for performance and runs entirely in your browser, so comparison speed depends on your device. Most comparisons complete in under a second. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
