diferente

User-friendly virtual DOM diffing

Demo

Install

npm install diferente --save

bower install diferente --save

diferente(el, markup)

In contrast with el.innerHTML = markup, which wipes out the DOM when set, diferente allows you to easily swap out markup with an intelligent virtual-dom changeset diff patch.

diferente(el, '<new markup to diff/>');

Origins

The diffhtml algorithm was invented by tbranyen. I wanted something that didn't pollute the environment (his code assigned to Element.prototype.diffHTML), so I took the code he wrote and just exposed the function that was called when assigning to diffHTML. All credit goes to him.
