How do I compare data in XML with data in JSON or CSV?
To compare data in XML with data in JSON or CSV, it’s necessary to convert CSV data into JSON or XML.
Robin is the founder of DeltaXML. With a background in Engineering Science (Oxford) and a masters in Computer Science, his software career includes computer aided design and much of the DeltaXML technology originates from this area – the management of change in electronic circuits is a complex problem where accuracy is critical. He has grown DeltaXML from very small beginnings to a leading position with major corporate and public sector customers. Keeping information up to date is a constant challenge, and those that manage change well gain a significant competitive advantage.

We’re addressing our carbon emissions by first reducing energy usage like installing more efficient heating and cooling systems.
We discuss the handling of order in XML and JSON, and the challenge found in schemas.
XML Data Compare is designed for simpler and more powerful comparison of XML data, offering improved handling of attributes and orderless data.
JSON merge strategies involve two main scenarios: simple JSON data merge and merging changes between JSON files.
The representation of changes in JSON can be achieved through a delta format, which includes the original and new values for describing found diffs.
The choice between XML and JSON depends on the needs of a project, XML offers structured semantics while JSON provides ease of use.
Comparing JSON files involves normalising numbers and strings, handling object properties with unique keys, and more.
A new algorithm for JSON array diff handling has been developed, allowing for improved alignment of similar items between arrays.
CEO Robin La Fontaine reflects on his experience at XML Summer School 2018, such as the intricacies of XML-to-JSON conversion.
