tiny-diff 0.5.1

#![no_std]

//! Keyed tree diffing with FIFO matching for repeated sibling keys.
//!
//! Paths identify nodes by child index from the root. Movement parents use new-tree
//! paths, while movement pairs contain old and new child indices. Removals use old
//! paths, additions and modifications use new paths. Removal order is unspecified.
//! The caller applies the resulting diff and owns node lifetimes.
