Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Boiled soybeans are kept warm under a blanket with rice straw for two or three days, while Bacillus from the straw coats them in sticky threads and a strong, savoury smell. Unlike the other Korean jang it is ready in days and contains no salt until it is cooked into a stew. Made in 5 steps over 36 h – 3.7 days. The longest step, keep warm under straw and a blanket, takes 24 h – 3 days (Kwon D.Y 2019) and runs at 25–45 °C (Shi B 2024). Salt is 2–9.4 % (Park Y.K 2020). Bacillus from rice straw, mainly B. subtilis and Bacillus velezensis, B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. licheniformis isolated from commercial products do most of the fermenting.
Rice straw · The source of the Bacillus; its middle part carries the most bacilli[kwon2019][heu1999]
No salt in the fresh product · Salt and chilli paste go in when it is cooked as a stew[kwon2019]
Salt, garlic and red chilli (to taste, optional) · Mixed in when the paste is mashed to keep until winter[sic-natto3]
Starter: spontaneous (Bacillus from rice straw); modern makers use selected Bacillus strains

What makes this one different
Cheonggukjang is ready in two to four days and has no salt, while doenjang, gochujang and ganjang are salted and aged for months. It is close to Japanese natto but is usually mashed and cooked, not eaten whole and raw.
Damsujang / dambukjangMade the same way but with no spices.
Starter-made cheonggukjangSelected Bacillus strains instead of rice straw, for steadier quality.
Safety
Tyramine built up in many retail products, up to 14 times the recommended limit, mostly from Enterococcus faecium. Fermenting cooler and for less time lowered it in a lab study. Use clean straw from fields free of sewage and livestock waste.
Hazards the sources name: Coliform bacteria on some rice straw from areas polluted by sewage or livestock waste.
No firm origin record exists. Kwon, Chung and Jang (2019) argue that similar fermented beans appear in Chinese texts from before 40 BC and that the Korean food has a long continuous history; treat this as one school's view.
