You can use it to merge two xml files that have the same structure but different content. And could use a filter to select the elements and his children that you want to merge.

Example of use: fusion_xml.exe -id filter inputA inputB -id

fusion_xml.exe -id ROOT ..\..\sample1.xml ..\..\sample2.xml

Produces the output:

<ROOT ver="1.0" id="0101" code="beta">
        <A/>
        <A/>
        <B/>
        <B attr="at"/>
        <C>
                <CA/>
                <CB/>
        </C>
        <C attr="at"/>
        <D>
                <DA/>
                <DB/>
                <DC/>
        </D>
        <F id="0101">
                <FA id="0101" attr="at" otherAttr="bt"/>
                <FB>
                        <FBA/>
                </FB>
                <FB/>
        </F>
        <F id="0101">
                <FA id="0101" attr="at" otherAttr="bt"/>
                <FB/>
                <FB>
                        <FBA/>
                </FB>
        </F>
        <G/>
        <E/>
</ROOT>

Where the content of sample1.xml is:

<ROOT ver="1.0" id="0101" code="beta">
	<A/>
	<B/>
	<C>
		<CA/>
		<CB/>
	</C>
	<D>
		<DA/>
		<DB/>
		<DC/>
	</D>
	<F id="0101">
		<FA id="0101" attr="at" otherAttr="bt"/>
		<FB>
			<FBA/>
		</FB>
		<FB/>
	</F>
	<G/>
</ROOT>

And the content of sample2.xml is:

<ROOT ver="1.0" id="0101" code="beta">
	<A/>
	<B attr="at"/>
	<C attr="at"/>
	<F id="0101">
		<FA id="0101" attr="at" otherAttr="bt"/>
		<FB/>
		<FB>
			<FBA/>
		</FB>
	</F>
	<E/>
</ROOT>
