Code Compare is an advanced file and folder comparison tool designed to streamline the process of identifying and merging differences in source code. Available as both a standalone application and a Visual Studio extension, it integrates seamlessly with popular version control systems including TFS, SVN, Git, Mercurial, and Perforce. Key features encompass two-way and three-way text comparison and merging, structured code comparison with syntax highlighting for languages such as C#, C++, Visual Basic, JavaScript, Java, and XML, as well as folder comparison capabilities with color-coded distinctions for added, deleted, and modified files. The tool offers deep integration with Visual Studio versions 2015 through 2022, enabling developers to perform comparisons without leaving the IDE. Its semantic source code comparison analyzes code based on its structure rather than mere text, detecting moved code blocks and matching similar lines even after refactoring. Additional functionalities include automatic file merging, inline changes display, code outlining, and a Difference Explorer for efficient navigation through modifications. Code Compare's intuitive interface and comprehensive feature set make it an indispensable tool for developers seeking to enhance productivity and maintain high code quality.
