Graphtage is a command-line utility and Python library for semantically diffing and merging tree-structured files like JSON, YAML, XML, HTML, TOML, and CSV. It works on a file-format-agnostic intermediate representation, allowing cross-format diffs and customizable output formatting.

Use cases

  • diff two files semantically
  • compare a file against a yaml file
  • show structured edits between xml documents
  • merge changes between tree-like config files
  • print a concise digest of edits between structured files
  • reformat a diff output in a different file format

When to choose

  • you need semantic diffs of structured data rather than line-based text diffs
  • you want to compare files in different formats like JSON vs YAML
  • you need a programmable diff library for tree structures in Python

When to avoid

  • you only need plain line-by-line text diffing of source code
  • you need to diff very large files where the tree-edit-distance computation is too slow
  • you need binary or non-tree file format comparison
