Here’s my ~600 byte (minified, gzipped) package for diffing two strings.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/javascript

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • striff

    Real simple string diffing.

  • I might wait a while before adding this one

  • diff-match-patch

    Diff Match Patch is a high-performance library in multiple languages that manipulates plain text.

  • So I'll just leave you with this question - why, as a developer, would I ever advise using this, when fast diff is an industry standard tool that does exactly this, but better, using well tested methods that are being implemented in JS and further optimized by one of the largest global tech companies. Mind you, this is the same company which has developed its own proprietary monolithic VCS, managing versioning for 2billion+ lines of code.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
