Compare of Variables and Document properties Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Comparison allows you to compare various properties of a Word document such as Variable, Built, and Custom properties.

Use the following methods of the CompareOptions class to enable comparison functions for document properties:

• setCompareVariableProperty() allows the comparison of variable properties
• setCompareDocumentProperty() allows the comparison of built and custom properties

To activate compare document properties, follow these steps:

1. Instantiate the Comparer object. Specify the source file path or stream.
2. Call the add() method. Specify the target file path or stream.
3. Instantiate the CompareOptions object. Call the setCompareVariableProperty() method to compare the variable properties and/or the setCompareDocumentProperty() for built and custom properties.
4. Call the compare() method. Specify the CompareOptions object from the previous step.

The following code snippet shows how activate comparison of the variable, Bbuilt and custom properties:

try (Comparer comparer = new Comparer(sourcePath)) {
    comparer.add(targetPath);
    CompareOptions options = new CompareOptions();
    options.setCompareVariableProperty(true); // to activate the comparison of variable properties
    options.setCompareDocumentProperty(true); // to activate the comparison of built and custom properties

    final Path resultPath = comparer.compare(outputPath, options);
}

The result is as follows:
