Overview

The JavaScript port of HtmlDiff.NET is an innovative tool designed for comparing two HTML blocks and generating a visualization of the differences between them. It utilizes a robust diffing algorithm to return a merged output that highlights additions and deletions with specific HTML tags, allowing for a clearer understanding of code changes. This implementation is a bridge from Ruby through C# to JavaScript, making it accessible for web developers who want to incorporate diffing capabilities into their applications.

What sets this tool apart is its ability to handle "special tags" like <em> and <strong>, and accurately reflect modifications in style elements. While the algorithm may have its imperfections, the primary objective remains: to clearly present the differences in an easily digestible format. This makes it a useful resource for developers looking to monitor changes effectively.

Features

HTML Diffing: Compares two HTML blocks and returns a merged output, highlighting what has been added or removed.
Detailed Tagging: Uses <ins> elements for new code and <del> elements for removed code, with classes indicating the type of change.
Style Tag Handling: Supports special tags like <em> and <strong>, ensuring the new styles are preserved within the diff output.
Change Indicators: Sections of code that have been modified are marked with specific classes (del.diffmod and ins.diffmod) for easy identification.
Usability: Designed for easy integration into existing projects, making it simple for developers to leverage the diffing functionality without extensive setup.
Demo Output: While the demo has not been ported, it aims to function similarly to the original, offering reliable output for visualizing differences.
Quick Deployment: The project was ported quickly to facilitate use in other applications, demonstrating its flexibility and ease of use.
