GroupDocs.Comparison for Java is a developer API to programmatically build difference checker applications among documents of the same format in Java. Developers can use the GroupDocs.Comparison to find and pinpoint differences in document content, text style and other support document formats including Microsoft Office Word documents, PDF, HTML, Outlook email, Excel spreadsheets, Visio diagrams, text, PowerPoint presentations, OneNote and images. Content changes for words, paragraphs and characters can be detected while summarising differences via a list.

Choose Detail Level for Comparison
GroupDocs.Comparison for Java allows developers to dynamically specify the extent to which a document should be compared. Some of the options are low (compare text word by word with exactitude for imaging grid = 50), middle (compare text character by character with exactitude for imaging grid = 100) or high (compare text character by character with precision for imaging grid = 150).
