In this digital era, Document comparison is a basic requirement of individuals and organizations for their legal and financial tasks. And GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud REST API is a proven API for developers to add this feature in their applications without worrying about platform dependence. It can be used on any platform without any third party software. It provides simple methods to compare most popular business file formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, Images, Email, Html, Note). Following API methods
