- Method Detail
  - getNodeDifference
```
NodeDifference getNodeDifference(Path aNodePath)
```
    Returns the difference for the specified node, null if there is no difference.
    If the specified node is a complex node and not an aggregated list, this method always returns null, since differences are only detected at the simple node level and at the aggregated list level. Additionally, if the specified node is under an aggregated list, this method also always returns null
  - getNodeDifferences
```
List<NodeDifference> getNodeDifferences()
```
    Returns a List of NodeDifference.
  - getNodeDifferencesSize
```
int getNodeDifferencesSize()
```
    Returns the total number of delta values.
  - isEmpty
```
boolean isEmpty()
```
