Here are some key features of "Daisy Diff":

· Works with badly formed HTML that can be found "in the wild".
· The diffing is more specialized in HTML than XML tree differs. Changing part of a text node will not cause the entire node to be changed.
· In addition to the default visual diff, HTML source can be diffed coherently.
· Provides easy to understand descriptions of the changes.
· Allow easy browsing of the modifications through keyboard shortcuts.

Requirements:

· Java Runtime Environment (JRE) - tested with JRE6
