Pretty Diff

Pretty Diff is a language-aware <a href="/facts/Data_comparison/rCRIKwFM">data comparison</a> utility implemented in <a href="/facts/TypeScript/W9J27V1N">TypeScript</a>. The online utility is capable of source code <a href="/facts/Prettyprint/GNPcN6eW">prettification</a>, <a href="/facts/Minification_(programming)/0PnmaX7q">minification</a>, and comparison of two pieces of input text. It operates by removing code comments from supported languages and then performs a <a href="/facts/Pretty-print/GNPcN6eW">pretty-print</a> operation prior to executing the <a href="/facts/Diff/MtzRWwql">diff</a> algorithm. An abbreviated list of <a href="/facts/Unit_tests/SYoGGS3T">unit tests</a> is provided. The documentation claims the JavaScript pretty-print operation conforms to the requirements of <a href="/facts/JSLint/5qjrSTcX">JSLint</a>.
As Pretty Diff is written entirely in TypeScript, the application executes in a <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a> or on <a href="/facts/Command_line/R9JpGmXQ">command line</a> using a stand-alone JavaScript <a href="/facts/Interpreter_(computing)/JB85fbyb">interpreter</a>, such as <a href="/facts/Node.js/FKzhV4Qa">Node.js</a>.
As of March 23, 2016 Pretty Diff stated it would abandon <a href="/facts/Npm_(software)/wJg3ebn2"> NPM</a> in response to a list of disagreements. On April 18, 2016 in parallel to the release of Pretty Diff version 2.0.0. the NPM package is updated to artificial version 99 where it is effectively locked into version 1.16.37.
The source code is published at the Pretty Diff <a href="/facts/GitHub/n1hNCsc3">GitHub</a> repository.
