Trim the spaces for string Type #104

While comparing two strings if there is whitespace in the target, it shows as a change and returns a change value, is there any options to trim the string before comparison?

Hi @i-paragsaxena! I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly. Technically, strings with differing whitespace are not identical, which is why the library currently shows them as changes. Isn't that the expected behavior? I believe that the library is behaving correctly if it reacts to trailing spaces, unless I'm missing something.

Looking forward to your thoughts :)
