Features and Limitations of Google Diff-Match-Patch API

[Yogesh J. Shah]

Hi,

I am planning to use the Google Diff-Match-Patch API (C# version) in one of the projects.

I wanted to know the following:
- Features of the API - Can it support different character sets like Chinese, French, etc.
- Limitations of the API - What are the issues faced when using this API.

Thanks.

I second the question for Chinese French and other Unicode characters.

There are unit tests that come with the DMP code which tests a small number of unicode characters (and pass). You should try to modify those to test the characters you need and make sure it works (it should).

As for issues faced when using this -- they seem to be documented in this group. Reading through people's questions is very helpful (I've found, anyway).
