Similar is a dependency free crate for Rust that implements different diffing
|
|
algorithms and high level interfaces for it.
|
|
|
|
It provides both low level implementations of Myer's and the Patience diff
|
|
algorithm as well as high level text diffing utilities (such as the ability
|
|
to generate unified diffs).
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use similar::algorithms::Algorithm;
|
|
use similar::text::unified_diff;
|
|
|
|
let unified_diff = unified_diff(
|
|
Algorithm::Patience,
|
|
old_text,
|
|
new_text,
|
|
3,
|
|
Some(("old.txt", "new.text"))
|
|
);
|
|
println!("{}", unified_diff);
|
|
```
