A Swift library that highlights exactly which properties differ between two instances of any type, producing readable diffs instead of Xcode's wall of text. It integrates with XCTest, Quick, and lldb to improve test failure output.

Use cases

  • show readable diffs when XCTAssertEqual fails
  • find which property differs between two Swift objects in tests
  • debug test failures with po dumpDiff in lldb
  • improve TDD workflow with better equality assertions
  • integrate diff output into Quick matchers

When to choose

  • you write Swift tests with equality assertions and want clear failure messages
  • you use XCTest or Quick and struggle to spot differences in large object dumps
  • you want a lightweight MIT-licensed Swift package for iOS/macOS testing

When to avoid

  • you don't work in Swift or Apple platforms
  • you need snapshot/image-based test comparison rather than value diffs
