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](https://pijul.org/)
|
|
implementation of the Myer's and Patience algorithms and inherits some ideas
|
|
from there.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
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);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
