具有LCS方法的通用文本比较工具

常见的问题是检测并显示两个文本（尤其是几百行或几千行）的差异。使用纯java.lang.String类方法可能是一种解决方案，但是对于此类操作最重要的问题是，“性能”将不能令人满意。我们需要一种有效的解决方案，其可能具有以下观点：

文字差异工具示例

该问题包含两个部分：

检测两个文本的差异：为了检测差异，在此解决方案中使用了一种有效的LCS（最长公共子序列）动态算法。该解决方案具有O（text1WordCount * text2WordCount）复杂度，并在下面被编码为“ longestCommonSubsequence”方法。
可视化差异：可视化使用基于HTML标记的方法，该方法将text2的新单词标记为绿色，将text1的旧单词标记为红色。该解决方案具有O（changedWordsCount *（text1WordCount + text2WordCount））复杂度，并在下面被编码为“ markTextDifferences”方法。

注意1：为简单起见，“ normalizeText”方法用于删除\ n，\ t和多个空格字符。注意2：此类创建为Vaadin组件。但是，“ longestCommonSubsequence”是纯通用的，“ markTextDifferences”方法是基于HTML的可视组件的通用，因此它们也可以用于不同的框架。
