Advantages of Using XML Compare
Customize the comparison strategy with a variety of options. Compare elements by key values, which is particularly useful for data exported from databases into XML files.

Compare XML Files and Ignore Order of the Elements and Attributes
This function enables you to compare XML documents efficiently, even when the elements and attributes are presented in a different sequence.
By selecting the Ignore Order option, you ensure that the comparison focuses solely on the content, rather than the arrangement.
This is particularly useful in scenarios where the XML structure is complex, and order is not a determinative factor for equivalence.

Is this text – original content of the XML file on disk?
No. This text is generated by XML Compare according to the XML tree. It keeps all the indents in the structure of your XML. Every element is placed on the new line for better visual representation.
