How Text Diff Works

A Text Diff Tool is a comparison utility used to find the difference between two documents. This tool is essential for editors, lawyers, and developers tracking changes in contracts, finding edits in shared drafts, and spotting plagiarism.

The "Diff" Engine

It uses the Myers Algorithm (the same logic used by Git) to calculate the "Minimum Edit Distance":

  1. Tokenize: Splits text into words or characters.
  2. Match: Finds the longest sequence of matching text.
  3. Highlight: Marks the non-matching parts as Insertions or Deletions.

Frequently Asked Questions

It compares two text blocks side-by-side or inline. Green highlights mean new text was added. Red highlights mean text was removed.
