XML / mysqldump comparison
Hi folks.
I have some large (re <5MB) xml dumps from DB's that i work on, and i wanted to compare them. Diffing them is largly pointless because I'm more interested in knowing WHAT is different instead of knowing that some line shifted a bit. I was condsidering loading them into perl hash's and doing some recursive comparisons, since after google-ing for the past half hour for "xml diff"/ "xml comparison" has yielded nothing really suitable (I'm on a headless *nix box and am looking to automate the whole process so a GUI of any sort is pointless, and most of the standard xmldiff programs arnt what i want) So has anyone got any better ideas? I have to say i was suprised to not find much about this as i would have expected this to be a fairly standardised utility *shrug* Regards G |
Well, if you go to search.cpan.org and ask for 'xml diff' you get a bunch of results, inc
