XML Compare

Compare two XML documents line by line and see exactly what changed.

100% private, runs in your browser

Compared line by line, live as you type, entirely in your browser. This is a plain text diff — it doesn't normalize attribute order or whitespace, so pretty-print both sides first if you want a purely structural comparison.

What is XML Compare?

Paste two versions of an XML document and see a line-by-line diff — added lines, removed lines, and everything unchanged — useful for reviewing a config change or spotting what a tool modified. Common for reviewing an app config, a SOAP/API payload, or a build manifest before and after an automated change, where the actual difference between two large XML files is easy to miss by eye. The diff computes entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is sent to a server.
