Build Java Apps to Compare DOC Files Programmatically

Accurate document comparison is an essential feature for applications managing legal drafts, contracts, reports, or content reviews. The GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud Java SDK enables developers to easily implement robust functionality for comparing DOC files in Java and highlighting every modification, even the tiniest changes. This cloud-native solution simplifies version tracking and difference detection by providing a streamlined REST API that seamlessly integrates into modern Java projects.

Rather than developing manual comparison logic or incorporating cumbersome desktop applications, our Java REST API for DOC comparison supports server-side processes that scale across cloud environments. It empowers you to programmatically compare Word documents, extract revision summaries, and preserve document integrity without sacrificing performance. You can also incorporate it into current workflow automation pipelines or document management systems with minimal coding and configuration.

For developers aiming to create responsive and collaborative document review systems, our Cloud SDK provides the versatility to customize comparison settings. Whether it involves legal document versioning or multi-user content validation, the GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud Java SDK equips your application to manage everything securely and at scale. To begin, please consult our step-by-step guide today!

With the following code snippet, you can incorporate this functionality into your Java applications right away:

package com.groupdocs;
import com.groupdocs.cloud.comparison.client.*;
import com.groupdocs.cloud.comparison.api.*;
import com.groupdocs.cloud.comparison.model.*;
import com.groupdocs.cloud.comparison.model.requests.*;

public class CompareDOCfiles {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Initialize API client with client ID and client secret
        String MyClientId = "your-client-id";
        String MyClientSecret = "your-client-secret";
        Configuration configure = new Configuration(MyClientId, MyClientSecret);

        // Create an instance of CompareApi
        CompareApi comparisonApi = new CompareApi(configure);

        // Set up the FileInfo object for the source DOC file
        FileInfo sourceFile = new FileInfo();

        // Source file path in cloud storage
        sourceFile.setFilePath("SampleFiles/source.doc");

        // Set up the FileInfo object for the target DOC file
        FileInfo targetFile = new FileInfo();

        // Target file path in cloud storage
        targetFile.setFilePath("SampleFiles/target.doc");

        // Create and set up the ComparisonOptions object
        ComparisonOptions options = new ComparisonOptions();
        options.setSourceFile(sourceFile);
        options.addTargetFilesItem(targetFile);

        // Specify output path in cloud storage
        options.setOutputPath("comparison/compared.doc");

        try {

            // Create the comparisons request
            ComparisonsRequest request = new ComparisonsRequest(options);
            // Perform the comparison and get the response
            Link response = comparisonApi.comparisons(request);

        } catch (ApiException e) {

            System.err.println("Exception occurred: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
