This is an interesting tool for computing minimal diffs, but the result is not very human friendly. If this is your goal and you are looking for something better than diff, have a look at graphtage: https://github.com/trailofbits/graphtage

Also works for XML, HTML, YAML and CSV.

The article explains very clearly that this is a purpose-built non-human-friendly solution.
I know, I wasn't trying to ignore or denigrate this purpose. It seemed apt to show a similar tool which still has a drastically different (and complementing) purpose, which is human readability.
Would be cool if there is were a way to plug this into git
I'm pretty sure git allows custom diffs, no?
Thanks for sharing that! Looks usefull to me
