Company Overview
At DeltaXML we work with people who are developing products or maintaining systems that handle XML documents and datasets, including editing tools, document workflows and specialist publishing applications. We help them add functionality to identify differences, manage change and merge documents, without swamping their users with irrelevancies or missing any critical changes.
This ‘differencing’ is easy to understand but particularly tricky to implement in software. Customers often come to us having started to scope-out the development work and realised that it would take far too long.
We provide a range of XML change and merge tools that can be embedded in almost any product or system, using simple, well-documented APIs.
DeltaXML uses a patented approach to analyse the structure of the XML files and apply attributes to identify all the relevant differences. It provides a structured output that can be readily interpreted by automated systems and adapted for presentation in documents and editing tools.
Our software is embedded into some of the best-known editors and is used by blue-chip organisations in areas including aircraft maintenance manuals, pharmaceutical data, safety information and financial publications.
