Do you normalise / deduplicate / otherwise clean up the xml or json files?
I'm thinking of visual studio solution files which were XML that picked up a lot of spurious churn when written by visual studio. A formative moment was discovering that colleagues edited these by hand to remove some of the noise when checking them into source control.
XML has a canonical form idea, sorts attributes and similar. Mostly wondering if opening the trees of emitted xml/json in a diff tool is a vaguely credible way of diagnosing whatever seems to be going wrong / rolling back one part of a change made in the GUI tooling.
