    copied!<p>I am looking for an XML comparing tool that understands xml. It cannot be a line by line comparision like WinMerge or Beyond Compare.</p> <p>An ideal solution would be one that shows changes similar to the way Word 2007 shows track changes. <a href="http://www.deltaxml.com/" rel="noreferrer">DeltaXML</a> does this, but does not come with a real GUI 'out of the box' and is $500 per user!:</p> <p><a href="http://i41.tinypic.com/os8k5k.jpg" rel="noreferrer">http://i41.tinypic.com/os8k5k.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.a7soft.com/examxml.html" rel="noreferrer">ExamXml</a> 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:</p> <p><a href="http://www.a7soft.com/images/examxml1_.gif" rel="noreferrer">alt text http://www.a7soft.com/images/examxml1_.gif</a></p> <p>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.</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>So far <strong><a href="http://www.a7soft.com/examxml.html" rel="noreferrer">ExamlXML</a></strong> is the best out of the box solution. But it lacks the change management concepts of DeltaXML. Resulting in some usability problems.<br/><br/></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.deltaxml.com/" rel="noreferrer">DeltaXML</a></strong> 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.</p>
