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: http://github.com/mbklein/equivalent-xml RubyGems: http://rubygems.org/gems/equivalent-xml Or, of course, simply gem install equivalent-xml I welcome any feedback, suggestions, patches, pull requests, additional test cases, etc. Thanks!
