About the XML Diff
Compare two XML files side by side or inline, with changes highlighted. Press Normalize to pretty-print both so that formatting differences disappear and only real changes remain.

Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
