XML Compare
This XML Compare page is designed for practical engineering work where you need fast visual confirmation of changes between two XML documents. The interface provides two editable panes with line numbers, a code-editor layout, and Git-style highlights for added, removed, and modified lines. You can keep pane scrolling in sync for long files, then disable sync when inspecting separate sections. Built-in XML formatting helps normalize each side before comparing, and validation checks catch malformed XML with clear inline messages. This is ideal for SOAP payload reviews, integration mapping checks, release diffs, and debugging config updates. The page reuses SLR CORE header, footer, and day/night theming so the experience stays consistent across tools. Since the compare engine runs directly in-browser using plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, your data stays local while still delivering responsive diff behavior for daily usage.

XML Compare FAQ
Does this compare XML semantically?
It uses line-by-line diff output for speed and clarity, which is ideal for source review and troubleshooting.
Should I format XML first?
Yes. Formatting both sides first often gives cleaner and more accurate visual line diffs.
What happens with invalid XML?
The page shows a direct inline error for the invalid side and prevents misleading diff results.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. The panes stack vertically on smaller screens while preserving controls and readability.
