A high level diffing library for rust based on diffs
Similar is a dependency free crate for Rust that implements different diffing
algorithms and high level interfaces for it. It is based on the
pijul implementation of the Patience algorithm and
inherits some ideas from there. It also incorporates the Myers’ diff
algorithm which was largely written by Brandon Williams. This library was
built for the insta snapshot testing library.
use similar::{ChangeTag, TextDiff};fn main() {let diff = TextDiff::from_lines("Hello World\nThis is the second line.\nThis is the third.","Hallo Welt\nThis is the second line.\nThis is life.\nMoar and more",);for change in diff.iter_all_changes() {let sign = match change.tag() {ChangeTag::Delete => "-",ChangeTag::Insert => "+",ChangeTag::Equal => " ",};print!("{}{}", sign, change);}}
