 | diffxml and patchxml: new XML-aware diff/patch utilities
Adrian Mouat has released diffxml and patchxml, new open-source
Java-based utilities for diff'ing and patching XML
files.
Mouat created diffxml and patchxml to meet the following
list of criteria:
-
An output format that is good for patching changed
files
-
A fast and accurate algorithm
-
The ability to handle large files
-
An open source license
-
Not strongly tied to a particular XML parser
-
Has an independent and fully specified output
format
-
Support for including extra context information in
diff output (necessary to produce good patches for
documents other than those from which the delta was
computed)
In part, Mouat seems to have created diffxml because none of that criteria is met completely by any of
the other existing "XML diff" utilities:
