JSBlend is a cross-platform, Web-based file comparison and merge tool written mostly in Javascript. It can display differences in two files and allow the user to selectively merge them by editing one of the files. While JSBlend is a general purpose diff/merge tool, it is especially suitable for managing conflicts in configuration files on servers after an update. Many server machines do not have any GUI framework installed, and are often run in headless mode on remote sites. Using desktop-based GUI tools for merging the conflicts is not always possible. JSBlend can be a very useful tool when either used standalone or embedded inside an existing administration console.
