I should also mention with the suffixes, sometimes they can have pretty significant skips. Sometimes it's just jumping from -03 to -05, but there's been a case of a jump from -15 to -50.

Finally, you can cognate -01, -02, etc. to the LEGO number for some sets (particularily around the 2013-2017 year range) to get additional inventories. Some of these are prototypes, some are combiners. -01 appears to be the default, and typically also a prototype for these sets.

Plastics or measurements for cuts are sometimes included. "with Glitter" or "with Opal" is cognated onto the end, even for multicombination parts. This means you get things like "WARM GOLD WITH GLITTER", when it's really Co-injected Warm Gold + Transparent with Glitter.

This means ink coating colors like Warm Gold, Drum Lacq. or Silver Ink are not listed, instead the base plastic color is. Multicombination parts are only listed with one of the used color (which is useful in itself), though which color varies from set to set.

Now, for LEGO color data: The data presented here is different from that you see on Pick a Brick or Customer Service (and subsequently, Brickset). That color data has a single color ID, but here it appears to be derived from a complex material data, which has additionally been processed by the API.

Don't forget that this is an inventory comparison tool, so you can compare two LEGO inventories, two Bricklink inventories, or a LEGO and a Bricklink inventory.

Widescreen mode also enables you to view the data of both inventories separately. Otherwise elements from the second set will just give you empty rows, if you are comparing to another set.
Always break Minifigures is also recommended for comparisons with Bricklink inventories.

Secondly, enable LEGO data. Without LEGO data, you are just getting what Bricklink recognizes the element ID to be (known on Bricklink as PCCs), which is not always correct, and often means you are getting empty rows for element IDs not on Bricklink.

First of all, you can set both sources to LEGO data, which allows you to also set one of them to 0 (or any gibberish number) in order to get an empty inventory, which should ease things when looking at just one inventory.

Of course, people now are calling these inventories "leaks", which I never have done, because it isn't a leak at all. Like I said in my other thread, I guess "leak" just generates clicks?

I was initially very cautious about it as the ability to access unreleased sets was something that might change if caught on to. However, I'm more confident now that it won't change.

Datamining a released build of a game is also not a leak, for that matter (although it may be spoilers). For instance, Mega Latios/Latias were in the data for XY, and that did spoil their introduction in ORAS, but it wasn't a leak.

Here's the "leaked" Ninjago BAM figures, since the "leakers" aren't providing their source. Yes, these are just publically accessible documents. Literally nothing "leak" about them. "News" is a better word, maybe? :)
