    imara-diff provides an implementation of Myers algorithm and the histogram algorithm. These allow a quick comparison of files similar to git diff or the diff utility. Compared to existing rust-crates like similar or dissimilar, the algorithms in imara-diff have been extensively optimized with heuristics similar to those used in git and gnu-diff. As a result imara-diff significantly outperforms similar across a wide variety of real-world test data (up to 100x).

  • gitoxide

    An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git

    However gitoxide is now using imara-diff and I plan to implement a subsitute for git diff there at some point.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
