Prettyfier and diff comparator for Hanz Petrov’s Ableton Live API documentation https://nsuspray.github.io/Live_API_Doc/

Live API actively expands. Documentation which laid out by Hanz Petrov (API_MakeDoc) becomes too cumbersome. It is difficult to search, to compare different versions, to understand what features are added, that has changed.

I spent the time and has made more advanced design of this unofficial documentation:

https://nsuspray.github.io/Live_API_Doc/

I have tried to simplify the search and navigation, to make design more accessible. It has a function of comparing different versions with independent displaying additions, changes, matches. I think you will understand.

New XML documentation files (8.2.7.xml, 9.0.6.xml e.t.c.) are obtained from the original files of Hans Petrov using a LiveApiXmlHierarchical.py, LiveAPI.xsl is connected to them, which translates data to an HTML document, styled with CSS, the dynamics is implemented by JavaScript using jQuery (including side menu dynamics jquery.singlePageNav-multilevel.js). CompareXmlTree.py generates difference XML files (8.2.7-9.0.6.xml e.t.c.) from source XML (8.2.7.xml vs 9.0.6.xml e.t.c.).
