High level delta API?

Hi,

I need a very high level interface for working with text deltas.
Source, target and deltas will be fairly small (1-100k) in-memory
binary strings. Would be used for producing deltas of changes to
individual database records. All I need is two functions:

        source + target -> delta
        source + delta -> target

Any way to use the Subversion API to achieve this without
investing a huge amount of time in the guts of the code understanding
Subversion- (and Apache)-specific datatypes, streams, pools, windows,
etc? I know there's some great stuff buried there, but how to access
it easily? I'm hoping for a wise and gentle guide to show the way.

If using Subversion is the wrong approach, can you recommend something
better? Thanks much.
