compare XML file and generate a differential XML file

Hi,

I want to create a differential XML file out of two XML files. I believe i would have to use some Object Model to generate object tree out of both XMLs
and then compare them to find the difference and write out the differential XML.

Now my question :-)) (thanks for reading till now), Whats the best way of doing this ?? Any experienced hand on this, pls reply. 
What kind of object model would be good. Is there any standard object model that can be used ?? 

Any other information or ideas. Please mail

Thanks,
Pankaj

Hi,
	We have had some experience in this. It depends how far you want 
to go with actually comparing the infoset rather than the text. In the end 
we decided to go with the diffing tool from deltaXML which sounds like it 
does what you want.
