## Description

This project is a React wrapper for the Monaco Editor, providing a set of reusable interface components for embedding full-featured, browser-based code editors and side-by-side difference visualization tools. It enables the integration of a text editor with syntax highlighting and multi-language support directly into web applications.

The library includes a dedicated code diff viewer that leverages the Monaco diff engine to visualize changes between two different versions of code snippets. It provides programmatic access to the underlying editor instances and manages the operational lifecycle of the editor, including initialization and cleanup.

The implementation covers editor state management, prop-driven configuration for themes and dimensions, and the synchronization of editor change events with application state.
