Compare 2 strings/texts and determine the differences between them. The API provides both an easy to process json version to work with and a pre-rendered result for html and cli output.
The Text Diff API returns a JSON object containing the differences between two strings. It includes an array of differences, an HTML representation of the comparison, and a CLI-friendly output.
The key fields in the response include "diffs" (an array of difference objects), "html" (a string for HTML output), and "cli" (a string for command-line interface output).
The response data is structured as a JSON object. It contains a "diffs" array with objects detailing the type of change (e.g., "eq", "add") and the corresponding text, along with "html" and "cli" fields for formatted outputs.
The API provides information on the differences between two text strings, including which parts are equal, added, or removed, along with formatted outputs for HTML and CLI.
Users can customize their requests by providing two text strings in the POST request body. The API will then compare these strings and return the differences.
Typical use cases include version control for documents, comparing user inputs in applications, and generating change logs for text-based content.
Users can utilize the "diffs" array to programmatically identify changes, use the "html" output for web display, and the "cli" output for terminal applications, making it versatile for various environments.
Users can expect patterns such as "eq" for equal text segments, "add" for newly added text, and "remove" for deleted text, allowing for clear identification of changes between the two strings.
