How to use the Code Diff

Code Diff runs completely in your browser. Paste or type your input, choose your options, and see the formatted result update in real time. Your data never leaves your device — it's that private.

Why use the Code Diff

Code Diff is built for developers who value speed and privacy. The tool processes everything in your browser, removing the need for API calls, file uploads, or third-party services.

When to use Code Diff

Use Code Diff when you need to convert or transform data between formats during a migration or integration project. Moving from YAML config files to JSON, encoding binary assets for inline embedding, or normalising data from one API shape to another are all scenarios where a browser-based tool helps you iterate fast without scripting a one-off conversion pipeline.

Key features of Code Diff

Code Diff combines formatting, validation, and transformation in one page — you do not need to switch between a linter, a converter, and a minifier. The output updates as you type, errors are flagged inline with the exact position, and the copy button respects your selected format and indentation preferences.

Common use cases for Code Diff

Common scenarios include: debugging an API response to verify its structure before parsing it in code; formatting a configuration file that was pulled from a production server where only the minified version is available; and validating a JSON schema or XML document against expected patterns during integration testing between microservices.
