A PHP console utility to find differences in configuration files.

### Utility features:

[](#utility-features)

- Multi-format support
- Report generation as plain text, pretty и json

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require mariya/gendiff

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Get help:

```
$ gendiff -h

```

Generate the difference between two files (`json`, `yaml`):

```
$ gendiff before.json after.json

```

The utility supports different output formats. By default, the report is generated as `pretty`. Example:

```
$ gendiff before.json after.json

{
    host: hexlet.io
  + timeout: 20
  - timeout: 50
  - proxy: 123.234.53.22
  + verbose: true
}

```

Using the option `--format` with value `plain` to get a report in the following format:

```
$ gendiff --format plain before.json after.json

Property 'timeout' was changed. From '50' to '20'
Property 'proxy' was removed
Property 'verbose' was added with value: 'true'

```

In addition, you can get the report in `json` format using the appropriate option value:

```
$ gendiff --format json before.json after.json

{"0":{"key":"host","type":"unchanged","valueBefore":"hexlet.io","valueAfter":"hexlet.io","children":null},"1":{"key":"timeout","type":"changed","valueBefore":50,"valueAfter":20,"children":null},"2":{"key":"proxy","type":"deleted","valueBefore":"123.234.53.22","valueAfter":null,"children":null},"3":{"key":"verbose","type":"added","valueBefore":null,"valueAfter":true,"children":null}}

```
