RE: Is there a diff-like utility for SXML documents?

Matching and diffing tree-structured-data is a tricky problem, and typically requires 3-way diffs/merge (i.e. a closest common-ancestor).

Here is a tool (inc open-source code in Java) for 3-way merging normal XML: http://www.cs.hut.fi/~ctl/3dm/index.html
(Described and analyzed at length in this thesis: http://www.cs.hut.fi/~ctl/3dm/thesis.pdf.)

Here is another approach: www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/papers/harmony-sync-tr.pdf

It would be great to see something like this for sxml!

Regards,

Chris

Subject: [ssax-sxml] Is there a diff-like utility for SXML documents?

Given two SXML documents, I would like a way to show the differences between them.   I was imagining a tool like the Un*x diff program, except comparing element by element instead of line by line.   Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
