I’m in the process of evaluating GroupDocs.Comparison for Java. While looking building and running the showcase as well as looking at the API documentation it strikes me that a lot of classes are marked as deprecated. Even the core Comparison class is deprecated. What’s the deal here? What alternative class(es) should I use?
We have changed the API structure since version 20.x. Please have a look at the release notes. Document comparison has become a lot easier with this change.
Have a look at the basic comparison code:
Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.docx");
try {
comparer.add("target.docx");
CompareOptions compareOptions = new CompareOptions();
compareOptions.setDetectStyleChanges(true);
comparer.compare("result.docx", compareOptions);
} finally {
comparer.dispose();
}
