What is Content Compare JATS?

Content Compare JATS is a simple REST API for comparison of JATS content. Our sophisticated algorithms analyse how your content has changed between revisions, in the context of the structure of one version.

The result is input document 'B' with Oxygen Track Changes markup explaining text-only differences from input 'A'. There is also a HTML output available with changes highlighted in red and green. We also provide Arbortext, XMetal and Framemaker Track Change output formats.
