recon reports: compare two reports and display the difference.

Question

hello folks.,

I need a tool to compare two report files and display all difference as a html file. Eg: There is recon report generated in URL, http://machinename.reports. When opened this Url, it should display the similarities and difference of 2 xml files.

Answer 1

Does the diff utility do what you want?

The meaning of "the difference between two XML files" is somewhat subjective -- e.g. if the same node exists in both files but at different levels, how should this difference be reported?
