XmlUnit empty Elements -

I try to compare two XML with xmlUnit I have the following problem. When I have two empty elements such as xmlUnit the examples given below identify the elements as a difference. and and & lt; Name & gt; & Lt; / Name & gt;

> I am only interesting in the difference, like the next two examples.

& lt; Name & gt; Test1 & lt; / Name & gt; and & lt; Name & gt; Test2 & lt; / Name & gt;

difference: test1 and test2

or

& lt; Name & gt; Test 1 & lt; / Name & gt; and & lt; Name & gt; & Lt; / Name & gt; difference test1 and ...

My code:

`diff diff = new def (fr1, fr2); Detailed deaf detailed def = new wide df (difference); List gap list = detailed def.get all datafins (); The differences in the list = detailed def.get all dataference (); For (commodity object: difference) {difference difference = (difference) object; String node 1; String node 2; Node1 = difference.getControlNodeDetail (). GetNode () GetNodeName () + "" + Distance GetControlNodeDetail (). GetNode () GetNodeValue (); Node2 = difference.getTestNodeDetail (). GetNode () GetNodeName () + "" + difference .getTestNodeDetail (). GetNode () GetNodeValue (); }

`

your & lt; / Name & gt; is a typo and according to the comment, & lt; Name / & gt; ,

Then you can try the following.

  XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace (true);  

seems to work for me.

Meaning When I & lt; Carp 1 & gt; & Lt; / Carp1 & gt; with & lt; Carp1 / & gt; .

Try to compare,

  expected text value '' but '' - comparison & lt; CfgDN ... & gt; & Lt; / CfgDN & gt; From / CFGDN [1] / Text () [19] to & lt; Cfgdn ... & gt; & Lt; / CfgDN & gt; On / CFGDN [1] / text () [19]  

With the above settings, all are equal and equal.
