Why Use a Data Diff Checker?

Spotting changes manually can be tricky! Tooly explains why diff checking is useful:

  • Code Reviews: Quickly see changes made between code versions.
  • Configuration Files: Track modifications in server configs or application settings.
  • Document Comparison: Find differences between drafts or versions of text documents.
  • Debugging: Compare logs or outputs to pinpoint where deviations occurred.

Tooly uses a reliable library to highlight insertions and deletions clearly!

What is Diffing?

"Diffing" is the process of comparing two versions of a file or text block to determine what has changed between them. A "diff" algorithm computes the differences and typically presents them in a way that highlights insertions (lines/characters added) and deletions (lines/characters removed).

This tool uses the popular `diff-match-patch` library to perform the comparison client-side in your browser, showing the results visually with color highlighting.
