Tool for viewing structural xib differences?

Question

Is there a diff tool for viewing differences in XIB's? It could display what graphical elements are in one xib while missing in other?

Answer 1

There isn't a tool that will do this visually. Only textual comparison is currently possible (diff, FileMerge, etc.) which is still a big advantage over the older nib format.

Answer 2

XIB files are regular XML files. You can diff them using your favorite diff tool.

Answer 3

You can filter both through nib2objc (http://github.com/akosma/nib2objc) and then compare the results. It will then show you the differences in code.
