I am looking for an XML comparing tool that understands xml. It cannot be a line by line comparision like WinMerge or Beyond Compare. An ideal solution would be one that shows changes similar to the way Word shows track changes. ExamXml works out of the box but displays the differences in a confusing manner. It does not have a concept of before and after, it just shows the differences:.
The tool should have the concept of using attributes as a key, so that it does not think that a reordered list of elements has changed. DeltaXML does this but I failed to set it up correctly for the screen shot. So far ExamlXML is the best out of the box solution. But it lacks the change management concepts of DeltaXML. Resulting in some usability problems. DeltaXML is pretty much the solution I need, but something with more functionality out of the box would be better.
DeltaXML requires writing java code to call the api, along with writing XSL to transform the xml into the expected input. If I understand your problem, you likely have an application that uses XML files as the data storage and the GUI abstracts the 'technical' tag names into 'user friendly' labels - again, I am assuming. So it would be a natural extension to view differences in a similar way.
I am also assuming your application doesn't have a diff facility that follows the 'abstraction' concept. I did some searching and found one app ExamXML that seems to come close with highlighting features. I downloaded the eval version and tested your files against it:.
It does a pretty good job of highlighting the differences. It seems pretty interactive and pops up with how many differences. It looks like you can change the colors it uses, so maybe you can use grays and whites to de-emphasize the tags.
It also seems to have a lot of options that you can pre-set for your users as well. This time comparing not working, files was evalueated as different with red lines. There is probably some problem with reloading of page. Great page though. Have a nice day.
Thank you for putting in the effort to this tool that ended up helping me a lot and also saving me a lot of time. I need to develop exatly that on my system, what language did you use? Any tips on what I can research to develop something like this? The following examples, could compares them as same? This is a Great tool. Though i have one bug to report. Whenever i am adding an attribute on right side xml, then its not highlighting the diffrence, instead it moves to next line and hoghlight that with proper color code instead.
While on left side its working as expected. Hope you can help on that. I fix it as soon as I can. Most comparison tools are just line by line comparators, which is useless if the xml is formatted into a single line or if the data is not in order.
A real xml comparison tool should compare randomly ordered data. This tool just does that. Any links to third-party website or software available on this website are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, either express or implied and are to be used at your own risk.
Extends Class Free Online Toolbox for developers. First XML document. Just ensure you click the option for "markup". But that is online tool, right? How can I apply changes from left to right or merge? You also need to change the options for sorting, otherwise it flags XML elements as changed when all they did was move order doesn't matter in XML so this shouldn't appear as a change. It still doesn't sort nested sections based on their content though, so you will still see additions and removals of large XML blocks when all that happened was the elements changed order, so it's not possible to get a fine-grained diff.
