Altova DiffDog is the dedicated differencing program created for developers and power users. This easy-to-use synchronization tool quickly compares and merges text or source code files, directories, databases, and XML Schemas via its intuitive visual interface.
DiffDog provides advanced XML-aware differencing and editing capabilities based on those in Altova XMLSpy, and integrates with any version control system that supports external differencing applications. For optimal efficiency, you can edit content directly within its differencing display, merge changes, and instantly re-compare. Intelligent syntax-coloring, line numbering, indentation guides, and other innovative features assist in comparing source-code and XML files.
DiffDog tells you when XML files are semantically equal even if they are not identical in a text-based comparison. Its XML differencing capabilities include DTD/schema-based validation, well-formedness checking, intelligent entry helpers, optional entity resolution, and more. DiffDog intelligently compares directories, applying special comparison rules based on each file type, and opens and edits file pairs directly from a directory comparison.
DiffDog even inspects Zip archives and compares contents based on the original file types. You can selectively move files into target directories or sync entire directories in a single step. DiffDog lets you compare and merge database structures or table contents, whether they are the same database type or different databases.
After comparing XML Schemas, DiffDog can generate an XSLT file or a MapForce mapping to convert XML data from one schema to the other. With all this functionality, you can reconcile source code, XML files, binary file versions, databases, and XML Schemas with one tool . Let DiffDog 2011 Enterprise Edition track down the differences in your development and database projects.
