The Diff Match and Patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the operations required for synchronizing plain text:

- computes character-based diff of two texts
- performs fuzzy match of given string
- applies a list of patches.

This is the port of Google's [diff-match-patch](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch) library to PHP.

Compare two plain text and efficiently return a array of differences. It works with characters, but if you want to compute word-based or line-based diff — you can easily [tune](https://web.archive.org/web/20160110201643/https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/wiki/LineOrWordDiffs)it for your needs.
