diff-match-patch
Diff, match and patch algorithms for plain text
The Diff Match and Patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the operations required for synchronizing plain text. Diff: Compare two blocks of plain text and efficiently return a list of differences. Match: Given a search string, find its best fuzzy match in a block of plain text. Weighted for both accuracy and location. Patch: Apply a list of patches onto plain text. Use best-effort to apply patch even when the underlying text doesn't match. Diff Match and Patch libraries are currently available in Java, JavaScript, C++, C#, Objective C, Lua and Python, although this package contains only Python implementation. Regardless of language, each library features the same API and the same functionality. All versions also have comprehensive test harnesses.
