What is the difference between monaco, classic, monaco-native? #357

Hello. I just want to know the difference between monaco, classic and monaco-native in viewer. Are these three viewers using different diff algorithms?

Hi! Monaco and classic are ast diffs with a different html backend. Monaco-native is a text diff. Cheers!

Thank you for your response! Do you mean the difference between monaco and classic is just UI and they are using same gumtree algorithm, right? I am a little bit confusing because of your new release about gumtree algorithm in ICSE 2024. Thanks!

Yes you're right! And the same command line parameters to change the algorithm / parser apply to both UIs. Cheers!
