Integrate. Customise. Compare.

XML Compare offers a dependable enterprise solution tailored to identify, manage and merge changes between XML files. Utilising XSLT pipelines, tailor the comparison criteria to meet specific needs. Compatible with any system or workflow, including widely used XML editors.

Find XML differences

No matter the XML, or size of the files, XML Compare can find any and all differences between documents.

Change highlighting

Represent change by highlighting the difference. Colour additions, deletions and modifications however you like.

Ignore change

For differences you know about, or change that doesn’t matter, set up unique rules to ignore them.

SVG comparison

Change between SVG images are graphically highlighted to give you precise detail of change between original images and their updates.

Orderless comparisons

If order of information isn’t important, XML Compare can be configured to match up and compare elements no matter where they sit between files.

Compare tables

Find change right down to the table cell. With XML Compare you can find change between CALS and HTML tables quickly and easily.

Highlight MathML changes

Compare and process MathML changes between your files. Just like text, formulas can be highlighted to show you where change has occurred.

Text formatting intelligence

Specific processing ignores but preserves formatting differences. Yet if formatting change is important, XML Compare can highlight this too.

Export to multiple outputs

Find value in your change. Publish your changes to multiple outputs including PDF, HTML, your own CCMS editors and more.

How XML Compare works

1. The XML Compare algorithms systematically process your two XML files, examining their structures and aligning all corresponding elements within them.

2. Differences in your content are pinpointed based on your specified configuration, distinguishing changes between the two files.

3. XML Compare compiles the differences it finds and writes them to an output file. This file combines your original content with new markup, giving you a detailed record of the changes.

4. Results from XML Compare are processed through an XSLT pipeline, allowing you to transform the output into any required format for your business or systems.

Karnov Group

How Karnov Group Merged Two Legal Publishing Companies’ Incompatible Content Databases

After an acquisition by Karnov Group, XML sources were required to be compared, merged and organised. With 16,000 files to be compared and merged, and the average size of the files totalling to around 200 Kbytes, this was no easy task. That is, it wouldn’t have been an easy task without DeltaXML’s XML Compare solution.
