Compare CSV

Feature

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

Can you elaborate?

[AlecksDeee]

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

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?
