Examples of Table Comparison Results
The examples included here show the results of comparing tables with DeltaXML's XML Compare for two-way changes and DeltaXML's XML Merge for three-way changes. The same table processing is used for DeltaXML's other 'Compare' and 'Merge' products.
Samples of CALS tables for XML Compare
Samples are available in a Bitbucket repo for comparing these examples as CALS tables in XML Compare. See https://bitbucket.org/deltaxml/cals-tables .
