It has been transformed to the Neos namespace and is working out of the box with Composer's and Flow's auto loading mechanism. This library is compatible with PHP 5 (tested with 5.5 and 5.6) and PHP 7. Note: Even though this library is rather stable and has not been modified by its original author for years, the Neos Team does not actively maintain all contained renderers. Features -------- [](#features) This is a comprehensive library for generating differences between two hashable objects (strings or arrays). Generated differences can be rendered in all of the standard formats including: - Unified - Context - Inline HTML - Side by Side HTML The logic behind the core of the diff engine (ie, the sequence matcher) is primarily based on the Python [difflib package](https://docs.python.org/2/library/difflib.html). The reason for doing so is primarily because of its high degree of accuracy.
