Frequently Asked Questions
How does the compare text engine spot differences?
The compare text engine uses a client-side Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) diffing algorithm to evaluate line-by-line and word-by-word variations between Original and Modified text inputs.
Is my text data safe during comparison?
Yes, 100% private. All text comparisons, diff highlights, case options, and report generation run exclusively inside your browser memory. Zero data is sent to external servers.
Can I compare code snippets and ignore whitespace?
Yes! Toggle the 'Ignore Whitespace' or 'Ignore Case' options to bypass trivial formatting discrepancies and focus on core content modifications.
