Diffract

DirDiff started as a tool to check two copies of files in separate directories, either by date or by a different modified date. From there, we had a go at building our own text-diff. Other diff's show the content of both files, and thus show the content that is equal twice. Sounds like a lot of wasted screen-space, so we show a single 'flow' and the different parts in different colors. Yes, we know we might have got green and red reversed, but since we use diff primarily to check what we've changed before commit, We like them to show up in red because it draws attention. It can also show the structure of XML documents in a tree view. If you configure the usual attribute names that holds identifying values, it will use those to show the relevant changes. If you're using TortoiseSVN, it turns out to be a good alternative diff to use with TortoiseSVN, open the settings and enter the command provided in our site for the external Diff Viewer.

Pretty Diff is a language-aware code comparison tool, beautifier, minifier, and parser for a variety of languages. Pretty Diff was created to compare code samples for various languages regardless of differences in comments, white space, and other factors. Currently, the project operates by beautifying code and then comparing the beautified product of the code samples. The goal in a future version is to introduce the comparison step directly into the beautifiers between the parse step and the beautification step to become a truly language-aware code comparison and analysis tool. The code comparison mode is the default mode and the only mode to require two code samples. Pretty Diff has progressively moved from community-driven dependencies to custom parsers to accomplish code beautification for a diversity of features and requests. Each of Pretty Diff's beautification libraries has a minify feature.
