rspec users - Mar 2011 - [module announcement] 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:?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!

Nice!

Shame it wasn''t available a few months ago when I rolled my own! :-)

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.
