## What it is
A React component library for rendering git unified diff output with split and unified views. It includes a token system for syntax highlighting, inline diff, and extensible widgets for features like code commenting.

## Use cases
- display git diffs in a react app
- render side-by-side code diff viewer
- show code review comments on diff lines
- syntax highlight diff output in browser
- build a github-like diff component
- parse git diff text into structured data

## When to choose
- you need a customizable React diff viewer with split/unified views
- you want syntax highlighting and inline diff in rendered diffs
- you need widgets like code comments attached to diff hunks

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone CLI or non-React diff tool
- you only need to compute diffs rather than display them
- you need high performance on very large diffs without lazy rendering
