Expose createErrDiff for diffing objects #51740
Description
Activity
The current implementation is not ideal. I would not expose that for now. It is just a best effort implementation and not e.g., Myers .
Reacted by F. Levi and Jacob MorrisonJust a little update here: #54862 will switch the alg to Myers

What is the problem this feature will solve?
I like the general format of the
deepStrictEqualdiff comparisons, but it would be nice to get this functionality "natively" to print a diff instead of forcing it to error to see a diff.What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
Expose
createErrDifffromassertnode/lib/internal/assert/assertion_error.js
Line 79 in 544cfc5
What alternatives have you considered?
Userland diff tool, but if the code is already there it would be nice to expose it
