Semistructured data is a generic term for data that does have structure
|
|
information, while not being tabular or very tightly restricted. XML and
|
|
HTML data is the most prominent examples for this. You normally would not
|
|
use this term e.g. for database tables (which for example do not allow
|
|
nesting of entries).
|
|
|
|
While this application currently only supports XML, the algorithms should be
|
|
able to process other semistructured data as well.
|
|
|
|
The approach used here is usually much slower than other well-known xmldiff
|
|
applications, however it produces better results in many "tricky" cases.
|
|
You say that other xmldiff applications try to do a syntactic diff, whereas
|
|
xmldiff tries to do a semantic diff.
