Compare two text blocks side-by-side and highlight the differences.
About Text Diff
The Text Diff tool is a blazing-fast utility for comparing two raw text blocks or code snippets side-by-side. It highlights insertions, deletions, and modifications to help you track changes between versions without leaving your browser.
How to Use
Real-World Examples
Reviewing Code Snippets
Compare an older SQL query with a newly optimized version to visually confirm exactly which JOIN conditions were modified.
Best Practices
- Enable 'Ignore Whitespace' when comparing code that might have been reformatted by different linters (like Prettier).
- For comparing multiple files or entire repositories, use the Project Diff Viewer instead.
Pro Tips
You can use the built-in minimap on the right side of the editor to quickly jump to areas with heavy modifications in large files.
