Text Diff Checker — Compare Two Texts — DevToolkit
Online Text Diff Checker
Compare two blocks of text and instantly see the differences highlighted line by line. This diff checker uses the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) algorithm — the same fundamental approach used by Git and other version control systems.
What Can You Compare?
- Source code (JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, etc.)
- Configuration files (JSON, YAML, TOML, .env)
- SQL queries and database schemas
- API responses and JSON payloads
- Markdown documents and README files
- Plain text, logs, and CSV data
How to Read the Diff
Lines highlighted in green (+) were added in the modified text. Lines highlighted in red (-) were removed from the original text. Unmarked lines are identical in both texts.
Features
- Line-by-line comparison with unified diff view
- Color-coded additions (green) and deletions (red)
- Line numbers for both original and modified text
- Change statistics (added, removed, unchanged lines)
- Swap function to quickly reverse the comparison
- 100% client-side — your data never leaves your browser
