great tool, btw!
it would be really slick if when a cell differs, daff could look inside the cells and do a diff on the content.
e.g.
daff_example1.csv:
name,age,more_stuff fred,23,"{""dogs"": """", ""residence"": ""Poland"", ""language"": ""English"", ""trick_or_treats"": ""true""}" bob,45,"{""dogs"": ""fido"", ""residence"": ""USA"", ""language"": ""English"", ""trick_or_treats"": ""false""}"
daff_example2.csv:
name,age,more_stuff fred,23,"{""dogs"": """", ""residence"": ""Poland"", ""language"": [""English"",""Polish""], ""trick_or_treats"": ""true""}" bob,45,"{""dogs"": ""fido"", ""residence"": ""USA"", ""language"": ""English"", ""trick_or_treats"": ""false""}"
$ daff daff_example1.csv daff_example2.csv @@,name,age,more_stuff →,fred,23,"{""dogs"": """", ""residence"": ""Poland"", ""language"": ""English"", ""trick_or_treats"": ""true""}→{""dogs"": """", ""residence"": ""Poland"", ""language"": [""English"",""Polish""], ""trick_or_treats"": ""true""}" ,bob,45,"{""dogs"": ""fido"", ""residence"": ""USA"", ""language"": ""English"", ""trick_or_treats"": ""false""}"
notice how daff shows that the whole cell in the more_stuff column has changed.
more_stuff
it would be nice if instead daff could produce output something like this:
$ daff daff_example1.csv daff_example2.csv @@,name,age,more_stuff →,fred,23,"{ ... ""language"": ""English"" ... }→{ ... ""language"": [""English"",""Polish""] ... }" ,bob,45,"{""dogs"": ""fido"", ""residence"": ""USA"", ""language"": ""English"", ""trick_or_treats"": ""false""}"
indicating the key/value pair inside the cell that has changed.
