FAQ

How does the diff algorithm work?

It uses a longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm to find the minimal set of changes between the two texts, similar to how git diff works.

Can I compare code?

Yes. The diff checker works with any text including code, prose, configuration files, and data. It compares line by line.

Is there a size limit?

No hard limit, but very large texts (10,000+ lines) may slow down in the browser. For typical use cases it's instant.
