unfortunatly, it doesn't have a GUI although I have never felt it needed one.

Answer 2

Check out BeyondCompare. Its a great diff tool in general and there are a couple of third party plugin for diffing xml

Answer 3

WinMerge is ok but has some issues with spaces and CRLF when you compare xml or other text files.

Answer 4

You could also try Altova's DiffDog - though, like all Altova tools, it's neither the cheapest option, nor graceful when it deals with massive XML files.

Answer 5

ExamDiff good gui, command line, free (not pro)

Answer 6

Project: Merge has a concise and clear GUI. Is fully controllable through the command line. Might handle large files gracefully - I haven't tested it with anything over 10MB. Is cheaper than the rest.
