History for this tool
The most recent data you entered in this tool, stored only in this browser.
Save what you type here, in this browser? Your work would go into this browser's local storage, so a refresh or a trip to another tool does not wipe it. You also get a short list of previous entries under the form, each one restorable with a click. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there is no account.
Being straight about the trade-off: anything kept there can be read by anyone who can use this browser profile, and by any script that later runs on this site. A tool page can hold a private key, a password or a signed token. Saving is convenient; it is not private.

About this tool
Compare two blocks of text line by line and see exactly which lines were added, removed or left alone. Useful for checking what actually changed between two versions of a config, a query or a paragraph.Questions
- Does it compare word by word?
- It compares line by line, which is the right granularity for configs and code. A whitespace-only change still shows up as a change.
- Is there a version for structured data?
- Yes. The JSON Diff tool compares two documents structurally, so it ignores formatting and key order and reports only real differences.
