Constructor Details

MyersDiff

public MyersDiff()

Constructs an instance of the Myers differencing algorithm.

Method Details

diff

public Patch<T> diff(List<T> original,
 List<T> revised)

Computes the difference between the original sequence and the revised sequence and returns it as a Patch object. Return empty diff if get the error while procession the difference.

Specified by:

diff in interface DiffAlgorithm<T>

Parameters:

original - The original sequence. Must not be null.

revised - The revised sequence. Must not be null.

Returns:

The patch representing the diff of the given sequences. Never null.

buildPath

public PathNode buildPath(List<T> orig,
 List<T> rev)

Computes the minimum diffpath that expresses de differences between the original and revised sequences, according to Gene Myers differencing algorithm.

Parameters:

orig - The original sequence.

rev - The revised sequence.

Returns:

A minimum Path across the differences graph.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if a diff path could not be found.

buildRevision

public Patch<T> buildRevision(PathNode path,
 List<T> orig,
 List<T> rev)

Constructs a Patch from a difference path.

Parameters:

path - The path.

orig - The original sequence.

rev - The revised sequence.

Returns:

A Patch script corresponding to the path.
