orginal.xml file :
update.xml file:
they should be merged to a xml file like this:
Actually, I'd like to use the update.xml to update the orginal.xml :
I know a little of XSLT, but my knowledge is not enough to figure out the right XSLT for the merge.

Please give this a try:
When run with your first XML as the input and with the update.xml present in the same folder, this produces:
fileName and updates are declared as parameters, so if the updates are in a file named something other than 'update.xml' or you want to pass the update XML in directly, you can do that without making any modifications to the XSLT.

I have two files have same data but in different lines.
File 1:
File 2 :
If I use
diff file1 file2 command I am getting below response:
But I need to get no difference, because these files having same data in different lines.

You can achieve what you want with the help of a small Python script (you'll need Python installed, as well as the
lxml toolkit).
tagsort.py :
This script sorts the first-level elements under the XML document root by the content of a second-level element, sending the result to stdout. It's called like this:
Once you've got that, you can use process substitution to get a diff based on its output (I've added one element and changed another in your example files to show a non-empty result):

I had a similar problem and I eventually found: https://superuser.com/questions/79920/how-can-i-diff-two-xml-files
That post suggests doing a canonical xml sort then doing a diff. The following should work for you if you are on linux, mac, or if you have windows something like cygwin installed:

It's tagged shell, but honestly I prefer using a scripting language with a parser. In this case
perl with XML::Twig .
It goes something like this:
I'm explicitly comparing one 'Identity' element at a time, and checking that all the fields in one, exist in the other, with the same value.
And then reversing that, because the second file might have extra entries.

I have a huge Excel spreadsheet that contains records of Customers where each column is a field. There's a field called Demographics which contains survey results of Customers and it's entirely in XML format. That is each Customer has a survey result on their demographic info like Gender, Marital Status, Income, Age, etc. which is given in XML format. It is notable that the whole XML is like a big chunk of text in a cell of the spreadsheet which I can't use to analyze the data.
The problem is now I want to extract the demographic data of each Customer and present it as fields in the same spreadsheet, i.e., each Customer has an Age, Gender, etc. How can I do this? I have tried to Google this but it seems like nobody has the same problem. I'm using Excel 2007/2010.

If the XML has a flat structure like this:
you could just convert the 'XML' column into an XML file and re-import it into your excel sheet. To do so, just
copy & paste the XML column into a text editor,
add a opening/closing root element,
and save as
customers.xml .
Now. import it back into excel, using
XML ->Import from the Developer Tools Ribbon. Based on the 'flat' XML structure, Excel will create columns for the single values:
Of course this will work only if the XML structure is suitable, but if it does, it works without writing a macro or parsing the 'XML' text content manually.

Open one of the xml form - go to file menu - share - export to excel - follow the instructions.In the export to excel you will find that, you can add all the xml forms if they are identical and export the data into one excel file in one go.

On Linux, how could I generate a diff between two XML files?
Ideally, I would like to be able configure it to some things strict, or loosen some things, like whitespace, or attribute order.
I'll often care that the files are functionally the same, but diff by itself, would be annoying to use, especially if the XML file doesn't have a lot of linebreaks.
For example, the following should really be okay to me:

One approach would be to first turn both XML files into Canonical XML, and compare the results using
diff . For example, xmllint can be used to canonicalize XML.
Or as a one-liner.

Jukka's answer did not work for me, but it did point to Canonical XML. Neither --c14n nor --c14n11 sorted the attributes, but i did find the --exc-c14n switch did sort the attributes. --exc-c14n is not listed in the man page, but described on the command line as 'W3C exclusive canonical format'.
Warning --exc-c14n strips out the xml header whereas the --c14n prepends the xml header if not there.

Tried to use @Jukka Matilainen's answer but had problems with white-space (one of the files was a huge one-liner).Using
--format helps to skip white-space differences.
Note: Use
vimdiff command for side-by-side comparison of the xmls.

Diffxml gets the basic functionality correct, though it doesn't seem to offer many options for configuration.
Edit: Project Diffxml has been migrated to GitHub since 2013.

If you wish to also ignore the order of child elements, I wrote a simple python tool for this called
xmldiffs :
Compare two XML files, ignoring element and attribute order.
Usage:
xmldiffs [OPTION] FILE1 FILE2
Any extra options are passed to the
diff command.

I use Beyond Compare to compare all types of text based files. They produce versions for Windows and Linux.

Our SD Smart Differencer compares documents based on structure as opposed to actual layout.
There's an XML Smart Differencer. For XML, that means matching order of tags and content. It should note that the text string in the specific fragment you indicated was different. It presently doesn't understand the XML notion of tag attributes indicating whetherwhitespace is normalized vs. significant.

Not sure whether (the dependence of) an online tool counts as a solution but, for what it's worth, I got good result in this online XML comparison tool. It simply works.

I need to 'merge' two XML documents, overwriting the overlapsed attributes and elements. For instance if I have document1:
and document2:
I want to merge the two like this:
I prefer Java or XSLT-based solutions, ant will do fine, but if there's an easy way to do that in Rake, Ruby or Python please don't be shy :-)
EDIT: actually I find I'd rather use an automated tool/script, even writing it by myself, because manually merging some 30 XML files is a bit unwieldy.. :-(

I know this is an old thread, but Project: Merge can do this for you. It can merge two XML files together, and can be run from the command line, so you can batch everything up together, run it and just resolve any conflicts (such as the changing attribute value of 'key' in your above example) manually with a few clicks. (You can tell it to run silently providing there are no conflicts.)
It can perform two-way and three-way comparisons of XML files and two-way and three-way merges. (Where a three-way operation assumes the two files being compared/merged have a common ancestor.)

Check XmlCombiner which is a Java library that implements XML merging in exactly this way. It is loosely based on a similar functionality offered by plexus-utils library.
XmlCombiner default convention is to overwrite the overlapping attributes and elements. But the exact merging behavior can be altered using special 'combine.self' and 'combine.children' attributes.

Unsure as to whether you want to do this programatically or not.
Edit: Ah, I posted that before the Edit. Don't I look like an idiot now! ;)
If you just want to merge two files together, IBM have an XML Diff and Merge Tool, and there's also Altova's DiffDog.
