Usage

Once you have installed erp5diff, you can use “erp5diff” in a shell:

erp5diff old.xml new.xml

Or in a python console:

from ERP5Diff import ERP5Diff
erp5diff = ERP5Diff()
old_xml = """
<ul>
  <li>1</li>
  <li>2</li>
  <li>3</li>
  <li>4</li>
  <li>5</li>
  <li>6</li>
  <li>7</li>
  <li>8</li>
  <li>9</li>
</ul>
"""
new_xml = """
<ul>
  <li>5</li>
  <li>6</li>
  <li>1</li>
  <li>2</li>
  <li>3</li>
  <li>4</li>
  <li>7</li>
  <li>8</li>
  <li>9</li>
</ul>
"""
erp5diff.compare(old_xml, new_xml)
erp5diff.output()
<xupdate:modifications xmlns:xupdate="http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate" version="1.0">
  <xupdate:remove select="/ul/li[5]"/>
  <xupdate:remove select="/ul/li[6]"/>
  <xupdate:append child="first()">
    <xupdate:element name="li">5</xupdate:element>
