Command line tool to compare properties files

Project description

Github PyPi Python

properties-diff

properties-diff is a command line tools to compare properties files and print differences with colors as if you were using wdiff or diff tools.

Even if properties files are text files, using directly diff is not that efficient because of key/value pairs order or format (for example using = or [space]=[space] as separator, double quoting values...). properties-diff compare key/value pairs but not the order nor the format.

properties-patch is a command line tools to patch a properties files with one or more properties files to add, update or delete some properties.
