Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

A comprehensive library for generating differences between two hashable objects (strings or arrays). Generated differences can be rendered in all the standard formats including:

- Unified
- Context
- Side by Side HTML
- Unified HTML
- Unified Commandline colored output

The logic behind the core of the diff engine (ie, the sequence matcher) is primarily based on the Python difflib package. The reason for doing so is primarily because of its high degree of accuracy.
