Compare Word Documents Online in Java

This Gist provides the details on how to compare Word Documents using Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for Java.
So in order to perform the comparison, first we will upload the input Word documents (original & modified) to cloud storage and then will compare text files using using compareDocument(...) method. Once compare text operation is completed, the resultant file is saved in cloud storage. For complete information, please visit Compare Word Documents Online in Java.
