Difftastic: A diff that understands syntax
I find ydiff more useful, specially for the side-by-side output: https://github.com/ymattw/ydiff
I'm using it like "git-ydiff-s" script in my PATH to use "git ydiff-s":
#!/bin/sh -

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers
I use both Meld and Diffuse[1] depending on what I do. I find Diffuse to represent diffs better visually, while Meld being better for actually merging contents.

Text comparation. Find matches
If all you need is a tool, there are plenty. On the command line, there's diff, which is versatile and can be scripted. If you want something graphical, there are a bunch. I like Diffuse which can compare more than two files at a time. Also, most modern text editors, such as VSCodium can diff files.
What are some alternatives?

diffr - Yet another diff highlighting tool
meld - Meld
json-diff - Structural diff for JSON files
