A fast and flexible O(n) difference algorithm framework for Swift collection. The algorithm is optimized based on the Paul Heckel’s algorithm. This is a diffing algorithm developed for Carbon, works stand alone. The algorithm optimized based on the Paul Heckel’s algorithm. See also his paper A technique for isolating differences between files released in 1978. It allows all kind of diffs to be calculated in linear time O(n). RxDataSources and IGListKit are also implemented based on his algorithm. The type of the element that to take diffs must be conform to the Differentiable protocol.

Features

  • Fastest O(n) diffing algorithm optimized for Swift collection
  • Calculate diffs for batch updates of list UI in UIKit, AppKit and Texture
  • Supports both linear and sectioned collection even if contains duplicates
  • Supports all kind of diffs for animated UI batch updates
  • Requires Swift 4.2+
  • Requires watchOS 2.0+
