Differ

Uses an O((N+M)*D) algorithm that significantly outperforms naive O(n*m) approaches, with benchmarks showing orders of magnitude faster calculation times for common use cases, as detailed in the performance notes.

Provides convenient extensions for UITableView, UICollectionView, and their AppKit counterparts, allowing developers to animate insertions, deletions, and moves with minimal code, as demonstrated in the examples.

Supports arbitrary ordering of patches via custom sort functions, enabling advanced control over how differences are applied, which is useful for complex state transitions.

Can calculate differences between collections containing other collections using NestedDiff, making it suitable for hierarchical data structures without manual flattening.
