Can I compare single-line strings?

Yes. The Diff Checker works just as well for single-line strings as for multi-line documents. Even a one-character difference will be highlighted.

Does it show whitespace differences?

Yes. Whitespace differences — extra spaces, tabs, line breaks — are detected and highlighted just like any other character difference.

Is this useful for debugging API responses?

Very useful. Paste two API responses (or expected vs actual output) into the panels and instantly see what differs between them.

Can I compare encoded strings like base64 or URL-encoded values?

Yes. The tool compares any text content character by character, including encoded strings.

Will it catch invisible character differences?

Yes. The diff engine compares all characters including non-printable ones. Invisible character differences are shown as highlighted empty positions.
