xmldiff library

The xmldiff.jar jar library contains the code that you can use in your own application.

Overview

The XMLDiffWindow is a JPanel subclass which can be used to create a component to show the differences between two XML or XSD files.

Usage

To create the panel showing the comparison, you only need the following code:

   XMLDiffWindow diffPanel = new XMLDiffWindow();
   diffPanel.setFiles(<the left file>, <the right file>);
   diffPanel.runCompare();

Refreshing the window content

The XMLDiffWindow.reload will refresh the comparison taking into account:

• The current left and right files content
• The current rules configuration

Lower-level API

The XMLComparator is a lower-level class (used by the previous one) which produces a comparison but don't create an associated GUI.

The comparison produces a ComparisonModel which hold the comparison between the two files.
