The matching phase browses both models trying to figure out which element of model<br/>1 corresponds to which element of model 2. The differencing process then browses the result of the matching and creates the corresponding delta. The result of<br/>both phases can be serialized as models.</p><p><img border="0" src="images/Process.png"/></p><h2 id="PluginsArchitecture">Plugins Architecture</h2><p>Here is the plugin architecture of the EMF Compare component :</p><p><img border="0" src="images/Plugins.png"/></p><h2 id="APIs">API’s</h2><p>The red boxes in the following picture represent the component which were designed for extensibility.
