Compare CSV

Feature

Hello! I think the feature to compare .csv would be useful.

Can you elaborate?

Sure! I recently needed to compare changes in two large .csv files, I came across a website that helped me and visually showed which rows/columns were added, updated, reordered or deleted. It would be convenient if such a function was in your extension.

Website

Example 1.csv

Name Original ChildOf Index
string bool string int
Something1 True 0
Something2 False Something1 1
Something3 False Something1 2
Something4 False Something1 3

2.csv

Name ChildOf Original Index Json
string string bool int string
Something1 True 0 something1.json
Something2 Something1 False 1 something2.json
Something4 True 3 something4.json

Result image

Why did I liked it? Since it doesn't show two .csv files on the sides, it kind of merges them into one, which I find convenient.

You can already use the vscode compare to show diffs? it'll show the green/red +- lines like it does for code. What is missing from that for you?
