Semantic JSON and XML comparator

RustDiff is a desktop application that compares two JSON or XML documents and highlights the differences in a clear, visual way. It is written in Rust and built on top of GTK4 and Libadwaita, so it feels native on the GNOME desktop.

Main features:

Semantic diff for JSON (key by key) and XML (nodes, attributes and text).
Split editor with syntax highlighting and automatic pretty-print.
Inline and full-line highlighting for added, removed and changed items.
Filterable table of differences, clickable to jump to the exact location.
Export to plain text or styled HTML.
Session history backed by SQLite with per-entry and bulk deletion.
Ctrl + mouse wheel zoom on both editors, dark mode follows the system.

A tidier header bar and a collapsible differences panel.

The differences panel can now be hidden and brought back with a header bar button or Ctrl+D, giving the editors the full window height. Opening the graph view hides it automatically and closing the graph restores it.
Secondary header bar actions (differences, graph, history, format) are now icon buttons with tooltips and accessible labels, so the header stays compact on narrow windows.
Fixed symbolic icons that rendered as outlines invisible on dark themes: the bundled fallbacks are now fill-based, which is what GTK recolors.
Every icon the app uses now ships a bundled fallback, so no packaging channel can show a broken-image placeholder when the desktop icon theme lacks a name.
The Debian/APT package now ships the bundled SQL language definition, restoring SQL syntax highlighting for .deb installs.
