DIFFFIND FEATURES

XML Compare — Spot Every Change in Your XML

Paste two versions of an XML document and see exactly what changed. DiffFind compares the structure of the markup, so changed values and added or removed elements are easy to find.

How it works

Add your two XML documents.

Paste them, load a file, or bring them in from a URL or cURL command.

Compare the structure.

Auto-detect the format or choose XML, then run the comparison.

Review each change.

Inspect the added, removed, and modified elements and values.

Illustrative examples of the feature.

A revised product record

BEFORE

<product>
  <name>Desk lamp</name>
  <price>19.99</price>
  <stock>12</stock>
</product>

AFTER

<product>
  <name>Desk lamp</name>
  <price>24.99</price>
  <stock>0</stock>
</product>

Red marks removed values; green marks added values. Unhighlighted text is unchanged.

Why XML Compare is useful

Use XML comparison to review configuration files, data feeds, API payloads, and exported documents.

Structure-aware comparison helps you focus on the values and elements that changed rather than on the surrounding markup.

Also compare JSON Compare, YAML Compare, and CSV Compare documents, or start with plain Text Compare.
