[MarkLogic Dev General] RE: XML diff (Andrew_Redhead)

[Gary Vidal]

Anyone Interested,
	
Seeing there is nothing from ML about this and it is something that I
have wanted for quite some time.  Perhaps we should band together and
start a project to write a diff library module based on the Diffx(order
sensitive) algorithm or x-diff(order insensitive).


I have started such a module but have not gotten far. I will share it
and hopefully somebody can make it work or we can collaborate and share
it back the community.

Here are some resources that I used to formulate my thoughts on:

-to-detect-changes-in-xml-documents.pdf

It seems like this would be a popular feature,  I haven't heard from
anyone in ML yet but another ML user has told me "off list" that the
answer is no.

Anyone from ML care to comment?

Cheers,

Andy
