Diffing Folders and XML Documents

XML differencning is available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite and Stylus Studio XML Professional Suite.

During application development, it can be useful to be able to compare two or more XML documents, or to compare the contents of two folders, in order to identify the type and number of differences between them. The process of comparing one document (or folder) with another is referred to as diffing. Stylus Studio provides utilities for diffing folders and documents.
