Changeset
A Swift library that computes minimal edits between two collections, primarily for animating UITableView and UICollectionView updates.
What is Changeset?
Changeset is a Swift library that calculates the minimal edits required to transform one collection into another. It implements Dave DeLong's edit distance algorithm to detect additions, deletions, substitutions, and moves between two sets of equatable elements, solving the problem of efficiently animating data changes in iOS user interfaces.
iOS developers working with UITableView or UICollectionView who need to animate data updates smoothly and correctly according to Apple's batch update guidelines.
Developers choose Changeset because it provides a reliable, minimal-edit algorithm specifically designed for UIKit integration, with convenience extensions that simplify animated updates and support custom comparison logic for fine-grained control.
