Home page states Lix can diff. "any file format like .xlsx, .pdf, .docx"
Wow, sounds useful. Git doesn't do that out of the box.
BUT... the list of available "plugins" only has .csv,.md and json, which are things that git already handles just fine?
Can it actually diff excel and word and PDF or not?
It can but the plugins are not developed for production readiness yet. I should clarify that.
The way to write a plugin:
Take an off the shelf parser for pdf, docx, etc. and write a lix plugin. The moment a plugin parses a binary file into structured data, lix can handle the version control stuff.
