Hi Product Hunt,
I built difflens.io because plain text diff often becomes noisy when comparing structured developer text.
The goal is simple: paste two pieces of text, let the tool detect the format, and see only the meaningful differences.
What difflens.io supports today:
- JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, HTML, Markdown, CSV, TSV, Cookie, Set-Cookie, Java Properties, cURL, JetBrains .http files, and plain text
- Field-level structured diffs for objects and request data
- Inline highlights when only part of a value changed
- Ignored paths, ignored whitespace, ignored case, and ignored key order
- Editable left/right editors with line numbers, folding, synchronized scrolling, and diff markers
- Local-first comparison: pasted content is processed in the browser and is not uploaded
The use cases I care most about are debugging API requests, comparing copied cURL commands, reviewing cookies, and checking config changes without sending sensitive content to a server.
difflens.io is open source:

I would appreciate feedback on:
- Which formats should be improved next?
- Is the editor diff view clear enough?
- Would a browser extension or VS Code / JetBrains plugin be useful?
