Code Compare Pro edition of the tool is specially adapted for comparing source code files. It locates changes in code with regard to its structure. Code Compare Pro features 3-way file merge tool that allows resolving version control merge conflicts.

Source code comparison has just become a child's play! Code Compare introduces the concept of Code Orientation, ultimately making it stand out from competitive file diff software. The concept implies syntax highlighting, similar lines detection as well as unique structure and lexical comparison algorithms. The file compare tool takes into account language specifics, which allows comparing sources in several of the most popular programming languages as code!

Syntax Highlighting
Code Compare recognizes language syntax elements and highlights them in different colors, which makes visual file compare and merge considerably easier. This is complemented with the Brace Matching feature that highlights the beginning and ending of a code block. Ultimately, you are able to experience an incomparably convenient code reading for comprehensive file comparison.

Structure Comparison
The concept of Code Orientation stands on several pillars, Structure Comparison being one of them. This method allows to compare source code by its signature, instead of the location only. Code Compare supports Structure Comparison for several most popular languages, namely C#, C++, Java, jаvascript, Visual Basic and XML altogether making it a flexible tool for source code comparison.

Lexical Comparison
Next key point in the code orientation concept is Lexical Comparison. This algorithm is triggered when you choose Symbol By Symbol file compare mode. It detects lexemes from the supported languages and compares them word by word. Code Compare supports C#, C++, Visual Basic and jаvascript sources for Lexical Comparison.

Difference Explorer
One other element of source-oriented file compare is Difference Explorer. This advanced option (available in Code Compare Pro only) displays changes in class structure between revisions. It displays a structure tree of the compared source files and marks changes with colors. This way you can visually review and navigate changes in the code.
