Creating XML and JSON comparison toolkits since 2001

We are completely focused on managing change to structured information. Our comparison and merge software tools transform the way our customers handle change in their XML documents, XML data and JSON files.

Where change matters

We have been working on XML comparison for almost as long as XML has existed and our first product was formally launched in 2001. Since then, tens of thousands of people in hundreds of companies have benefited from using our products. Although XML is in our name and was our initial focus, JSON is a natural step for us as a popular format for structured data.

Tristan Mitchell

Product Director

One could argue that playing ‘Arcadians’ on the Acorn Electron back in the 1980s was the real beginning of Tristan’s computing career. Tristan’s official education and passion for computing came in the computer science classes he took at high school, leading him to the University of Wales, Aberystwyth to complete an MEng in Software Engineering. Tristan has been working with DeltaXML for over ten years, and in that time has contributed much, driving DeltaXML to its place as a market leader in the XML document and data comparison industry.

Bridget Mason

Director of Marketing

A highly efficient, innovative and proactive marketer Bridget is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and has over 25 years’ experience developing B2B marketing and communication activities to help organisations achieve their goals.

Bridget initially worked with DeltaXML as a coach and mentor to the marketing team before joining part-time as Marketing Director to help grow the business and create a strategy to make this happen. Known for being extremely organised and highly motivated she is passionate about what she does, whether it is aligning business goals with marketing strategies, measuring current plans and campaigns to see what results are being achieved, or being creative in coming up with new ideas to drive lead generation, brand recognition or loyalty.
