How does the online text and code difference checker work?

The diff checker computes line-by-line and character-by-character differences between two text snippets using the Myers difference algorithm. Deletions are highlighted in red and additions are highlighted in green.

Is my text or source code uploaded to an external server?

No. All text comparison and diff rendering runs 100% locally in your browser memory. No sensitive text, code, or configuration keys are transmitted to any backend server.

Can I compare side-by-side or inline unified diffs?

Yes. You can toggle between Split View (Side-by-Side) for parallel line comparison and Unified View (Inline) for patch-style linear reading.
