[jdom-interest] how to compare 2 xml instances<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to compare if 2 xml iinstances are identical.</DIV>
<DIV>I noticed Element.equals() implements identity comparaison.</DIV>
<DIV>Is there such feature in JDOM?</DIV>
<DIV>My need is to compare the whole DOM trees from XML files generated by
different tools</DIV>
<DIV>Especially I would like to ignore:</DIV>
<DIV>- tabs</DIV>
<DIV>- CR</DIV>
<DIV>- comments,</DIV>
<DIV>- some processing instructions, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks. </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
