Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. The tool doesn't preserve the order of elements so although the content is equal comparing it as text will result as the files are different. Is there some tool that can sort the elements before comparing and will enable text comparison of the documents? Of course the sorting needs to be done recursively. That post suggests doing a canonical XML sort then doing a diff. The following should work for you if you are on Linux, Mac, or if you have Windows with something like Cygwin installed:.
For what it's worth, I have created a java tool or kotlin actually for effecient and configurable canonicalization of xml files. It does support sorting nested lists - sorting innermost lists before outer.
But it cannot reliably sort arbitrary levels of recursively nested lists. If you have such needs you can - after having used this tool - compare the sorted byte arrays of the results.
You can get it here: XMLNormalize. The XML samples are fundamentally different. Even though the content and the hierarchy may be identical the relationships between peers is different. If you want to discount the nature of relationships between peer entities then you will likely need custom software.
In addition, there is the danger that with so many XML changes identified a traditional compare utility could get completely out of sync during processing and simply mark all lines as different after a certain point. This XML compare engine is programmed to recognize key XML entities and then invoke a specific set of rules to identify only the changes that would result in "real", logical changes between the two XML files. Text Literals of attributes and any other changes found when comparing XML files that are not specifically relevant can be ignored.

To highlight the differences between the two files, click the Perform File Differencing button from the toolbar. You can use the drop-down menu on the left side of the toolbar to change the algorithm for the operation. You can also use the Diff Options button to access the Files Comparison preferences page where you can choose to ignore certain types of markup and configure various options.
The resulting comparison will show you differences between the two files. The line numbers on each side and colored marks on the right-side vertical stripe help you to quickly identify the locations of the differences. Adjacent changes are grouped into blocks of changes. This layout allows you to easily identify and focus on a group of related changes. Figure 2. Thank you. I checked the "Console". Can you send me your xml file contact extendsclass.
It appears that tag names and the first attribute name get smashed together in the orange and yellow sections. Can you send me your XML files contact extendsclass. Please suggest. I will not have time to improve it for a while : but I will watch when I have time! Next day I restored my browser, this page was loaded, so I input two xml files again same files as day before. 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.
