+      xmldiff is a library and a command-line utility for making diffs out of
+      XML. This may seem like something that doesn't need a dedicated utility,
+      but change detection in hierarchical data is very different from change
+      detection in flat data. XML type formats are also not only used for
+      computer readable data, it is also often used as a format for hierarchical
+      data that can be rendered into human readable formats. A traditional diff
+      on such a format would tell you line by line the differences, but this
+      would not be be readable by a human. xmldiff provides tools to make human
+      readable diffs in those situations.
