Altova DiffDog 2008 is the developer's dedicated differencing utility. This powerful, easy-to-use synchronization tool quickly compares and merges source code and text-based files or directory pairs via its elegant visual interface. DiffDog provides advanced XML-aware differencing and editing capabilities based on those popularized 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, folding margins, and other innovative features assist in comparing source-code and XML files. Its XML differencing capabilities include DTD/schema-based validation, well-formedness checking, intelligent entry helpers, optional entity resolution, consideration of attribute and child element ordering, and more. DiffDog lets you examine OOXML documents and compare them with XML-aware functionality. Moreover, it allows you to compare XML files in the advanced text view or the indispensable grid view first introduced in XMLSpy. DiffDog also provides powerful capabilities for directory comparisons. DiffDog can intelligently process directories, applying special comparison rules based on each file type, and even open and edit file pairs directly from the directory comparison view. DiffDog even inspects Zip archives and compares contents based on the original file types. DiffDog lets you selectively move files into target directories or automatically synchronize directories with a single intelligent step. With all this, you can reconcile source code, XML, or binary file versions, sync-up files on your laptop and desktop computers in a single step. Differencing results may be exported in text or XML formats. Let DiffDog 2008 track down the differences in your development and integration projects. Download a free 30-day trial today.
