Online Diff Tools
Online diff tools are web-based applications that compare and highlight differences between two or more text files, code snippets, or documents. They are commonly used by developers to identify changes in code versions, merge conflicts, or review edits in collaborative projects. These tools typically provide side-by-side or inline views with color-coded highlighting for additions, deletions, and modifications.
Developers should use online diff tools when they need to quickly compare code changes without installing software, such as during code reviews, debugging, or when working remotely. They are particularly useful for comparing configuration files, reviewing pull requests in version control systems like Git, and ensuring consistency in collaborative editing environments.
