Why Text diff by Horde?
=======================

[](#why-text-diff-by-horde)

Is the best lib for text diff in php. Is wise and experienced.

Advantages over analogues:

- diff by word inner each line
- diff by symbols inner each line
- tuning the output format
- the best speed in php
- the bets memory optimization in php

============

For very long strings, there is a trick: divide long strings before use diff

Examples
========

[](#examples)

```
use Topvisor\Horde\Text\Diff;

$diff = Diff\Diff::fromFileLineArrays($linesA, $linesB);

// calc diff as word
$renderer = new Diff\InlineRenderer();
$res = $renderer->render($diff);
var_dump($res);

// calc diff as symbol
$renderer = new Topvisor\Horde\Text\Diff\InlineRenderer(['split_characters' => true]);
$res2 = $renderer->render($diff);
var_dump($res2);
```
