Hi Manoj, The md5 function takes a string, so you're only acting on the character data. Try using xdmp:quote() to turn the XML tree into text and then calling md5() on the quoted text.

When we trying to understand how this md5 api works and were trying some scenarios. One such scenario which we tested is given below let $xml1 :=<root><a>a</a><b>b</b></root> let $xml2 :=<root><a>a</a><z><x>b</x></z></root> let $xml11 :='<root><a>a</a><b>b</b></root>' let $xml21 :='<root><a>a</a><z><x>b</x></z></root>' let $a := xdmp:md5($xml1) let $b := xdmp:md5($xml2) let $a1 := xdmp:md5($xml11) let $b1 := xdmp:md5($xml21) return (deep-equal($a,$b),deep-equal($a1,$b1)) In the above code md5 value for $a and $b are identical inspite of $xml2 having additional node. Where as $a1 and $b1 returned different md5 values. It would be great if someone can throw some light on how md5 value is generated in marklogic and what are things it considers while generating the md5 value. Regards, Manoj
