leftright

Diff binary files over HTTP

leftright REST API is the new web platform to compare two strings.

It runs using Tornado Web, one of the main python asynchronous networking library. It uses non-blocking network I/O and can scale for thousand of requests under right server conditions.

Hope you enjoy!
