Hi Gary,
If you would order children based on their ID, or to put it more generally normalize your input, then you might have more options. I have used xsltunit in the past, but only for small comparisons, and exact matches. I have worked with diffmk, to which Norm contributed a lot (if not all). It is written in Java, but I am afraid development on it has been stopped years back. Stackoverflow mentions XMLUnit as best option ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/141993/best-way-to-compare-2-xml-documents-in-java, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10311563/comparing-two-xml-files-using-java). Most of the solutions talk about exact matches, not marking differences though.

I need to run this from Java and ideally would be able to compare children orderlessly by tagging children with IDs. Looks like DeltaXML is very good at this type of thing but may not affordable for us. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help, Gary
