Equivalency testing for XML

Hello all,

I recently released a gem that assists in testing XML nodes for
equivalency,
and thought it might be of interest to the RSpec community. It can
normalize
whitespace (or not), ignore element order (or not), compare namespaces
based
on URI (not prefix), and more. Plus – and possibly best of all – it
has
baked-in RSpec (1.2.4+, 2.x) integration via custom matchers.

It’s similar in aim to XmlUnit for Java[1], but with a far narrower
scope.

Documentation:
http://rdoc.info/github/mbklein/equivalent-xml/master/frames
Source: GitHub - mbklein/equivalent-xml: Easy equivalency tests for Nokogiri and Oga XML
RubyGems: equivalent-xml | RubyGems.org | your community gem host

Or, of course, simply gem install equivalent-xml

I welcome any feedback, suggestions, patches, pull requests, additional
test
cases, etc.

Thanks!

Michael

Nice!

Shame it wasn’t available a few months ago when I rolled my own! :slight_smile:

Will take a look through the specs and my own version and if there’s any
gaps I’ll send you a pull request.

Cheers,
James.
