Purpose¶

FieldDifferenceViewer shows differences between strings from Input1 and Input2 as difference view created with the python library difflib. It is an easy solution for comparing tables or lists of values just by comparing their strings.

Note

A known issue is that the difference view of compared strings may fail if the compared strings contain html tags (the difference view is rendered as html code).
