Use the focused line diff for quick revision checks while the broad Text Diff remains the deeper workspace.
Comparison runs locally in your browser. Interactive diff uses a bounded token count to avoid locking the page on extremely large inputs.
Review line additions and removals quickly, then use the broad Text Diff when word/character granularity is needed.

Compare the same two text inputs with explicit normalization settings, change counts, and a copyable unified view. The raw text above stays unchanged.
Uses the primary Original / Modified text above.
Up to 400 logical lines per side for this review panel.
Editorial title-case rules have edge cases, syllable counts are heuristic, Unicode style substitutions depend on font/app support, and normalized or visually similar Unicode text is not automatically safe or equivalent. Structural XML comparison should use the XML-aware engine rather than a raw line diff.
Use the product workflow above first. These notes add interpretation, verification and limits without displacing the inputs, results or visual review.
Ignoring case, trimming line edges or collapsing whitespace can help compare generated files and configuration text, but each option deliberately hides a class of differences. Keep the raw inputs available and document which normalization settings were used for the review.
A side-by-side table is faster for visual scanning when the files are similar, while a unified view is compact for copying into a review note or issue. Both should be derived from the same line-level comparison so counts do not disagree.
Text copied from different systems may use LF or CRLF line endings. Normalize the line-ending representation before comparing logical lines; otherwise an editor or parser can report every line as changed even when the visible text is identical.
Reformatting JSON, HTML or source code can move many lines without changing behavior. Use language-aware formatters or parsers when semantic equivalence matters, and treat the line comparison as review evidence rather than proof that two programs behave differently.
For a quick confidence check, add one line, delete one line and change one line in a small sample. The added, removed and unchanged counts should move predictably, and the unified output should show the expected + and − prefixes.
