Help in Editing XML files

I need some help in editing a xml file, I have 2 xml files, One is Master.xml and other is a upgrade.xml. I want to moved all the values from upgrade.xml to Master.xml. challenge is upgrade.xml might have similar values, changed values and also new values.
So the script should find and replace or add in case its a new value. There should not be duplicate values.

upgrade.xml file

Code:

<test>
    <test1>
        <file name ="xyz">value1</file>
        <file name ="abc">value2</file>
        <file name ="kkk">value3</file>
   </test1>
        <folder name="ggg"> 
            <new>
           <file name="ppp"> value321 </file>
            </new>
        </folder>
            
</test>

Master.xml

Code:

<test>
   <test1>
        <file name ="ddd">value5</file>
        <file name ="xyz">value0</file>
        <file name ="abc">value2</file>
        <file name ="mmm">value6</file>
   </test1>
</test>

output file:

Code:

<test>
   <test1>
        <file name ="ddd">value5</file>
        <file name ="xyz">value1</file>
        <file name ="abc">value2</file>
        <file name ="kkk">value3</file>
        <file name ="mmm">value6</file>
   </test1>
        <folder name="ggg"> 
            <new>
           <file name="ppp"> value321 </file>
            </new>
        </folder>
</test>

NAME

       xml-xread - Parse XML documents with entity and URI resolution

SYNOPSIS

       xml-xread [options] xmlfile

DESCRIPTION

       xml-xread  is  a simple command line tool for parsing and validating XML documents.  It is not an actual XML parser, it just wraps around a
       JAXP XMLReader, adding support for catalog-based entity and URI resolution.

OPTIONS

       -c catalogfile
	      Load a particular catalog file.  May be specified multiple times.

       -v     Perform a validating parse.  This is the default.

       -w     Perform a well-formed parse, not a validating parse.

       -N     Perform a namespace-aware parse.	This is the default.

       -n     Perform a namespace-ignorant parse.

       -d debuglevel
	      Set the debug level (an integer).  Warnings are shown if the debug level is set to greater than 2.

       -E maxerrors
	      Set the maximum number of errors to display.  The default is 10.

FILES

       /etc/java/resolver/CatalogManager.properties
	      The central catalog manager configuration file used by xml-xread.
