What sweetener does Diet Dr Pepper use?

Why is Diet Dr Pepper frequently praised for tasting like regular Dr Pepper?

Diet Dr Pepper is widely noted in consumer taste tests and reviews for closely mimicking the 23-flavor blend that defines regular Dr Pepper, with many drinkers unable to distinguish it from the full-sugar version. This taste fidelity has made it one of the most consistently popular diet sodas in the United States.
