Paths make changes reviewable
The report identifies additions, removals, and changed values at indexed node or attribute paths. Child order remains significant because XML is an ordered tree.

What this tool does
XML 1.0, bounded, and local
Tree comparison separates represented nodes from much of their source presentation. It helps identify element, attribute, text, comment, CDATA, processing-instruction, order, and namespace changes.
A structural diff is not a signature check
This operation does not implement Canonical XML, XML Signature, schema-aware defaults, or application-specific whitespace rules. Use the required canonicalization and security stack for signed data.
