Systems, methods, and media for generating a normalized schema comparison file are disclosed. A method includes receiving, by a processing device, an extensible markup language (XML) schema for an XML document. The XML schema includes a content model and one or more internal schema structures and the content model is a specification of one or more XML elements and XML attributes allowed within a conformant XML instance file. The method further includes processing the XML schema to resolve and remove the one or more internal schema structures, determining a standardized structure by identifying a definition for each of one or more XML elements and XML attributes to obtain a plurality of definitions, providing the standardized structure in a normalized schema comparison syntax each of the plurality of definitions in alphabetical order to obtain an arranged plurality of definitions, eliminating any redundant definitions present in the arranged plurality of definitions, and generating a normalized schema comparison file containing the arranged plurality of definitions.
