XML compare - Nilis78 - Jan-15-2022

Im looking for a script what can compare xml and works simular as the compare function in notepad++.

Is there a script like that?

difflib or try some third party like xmldiff.
I can do test with difflib and use rich for better look.

from difflib import Differ
from rich import print

with open("1.xml") as f1,open("2.xml") as f2:
    f_1 = [i.strip() for i in f1]
    f_2 = [i.strip() for i in f2]

diff = Differ()
difference = list(diff.compare(f_1, f_2))
difference = '\n'.join(difference)
print(difference)

So it work fine,files used:
1.xml
