Package org.xmlunit.diff

Contains XMLUnit DifferenceEngine that is at the heart of all comparisons as well as supporting interfaces and implementations.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AbstractDifferenceEngine.DeferredComparison	Encapsulates a comparison that may or may not be performed.
ComparisonController	Decides whether the difference engine should stop the whole comparison process because of the current difference.
ComparisonFormatter	Formatter methods for a Comparison Object.
ComparisonListener	Is notified of comparisions and their results.
DefaultNodeMatcher.NodeTypeMatcher	Determines whether two Nodes are eligible for comparison based on their node type.
DifferenceEngine	XMLUnit's difference engine.
DifferenceEvaluator	May decide to up- or downgrade the severity of a difference.
ElementSelector	Strategy used by DefaultNodeMatcher for selecting matching elements.
ElementSelectors.ConditionalSelectorBuilder	Allows to build complex ElementSelectors by combining simpler blocks.
ElementSelectors.ConditionalSelectorBuilderThen	then-part of conditional ElementSelectors built via ElementSelectors.ConditionalSelectorBuilder.
NodeMatcher	Strategy that matches control and tests nodes for comparison.
XPathContext.NodeInfo	Representation of a node used by XPathContext.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractDifferenceEngine	Useful base-implementation of some parts of the DifferenceEngine interface.
ByNameAndTextRecSelector	ElementSelector that allows two elements to be compared if their name (including namespace URI, if any) and textual content is the same and the same is true for all child elements recursively.
Comparison	Details of a single comparison XMLUnit has performed.
Comparison.Detail	The details of a target (usually some representation of an XML Node) that took part in the comparison.
ComparisonControllers	Controllers used for the base cases.
ComparisonListenerSupport	Encapsulates support for ComparisonListeners so it can be reused by different implementations of DifferenceEngine.
DefaultComparisonFormatter	Formatter methods for a Comparison Object.
DefaultNodeMatcher	Default implemetation of NodeMatcher that matches control and tests nodes for comparison with the help of DefaultNodeMatcher.NodeTypeMatcher and ElementSelectors.
DefaultNodeMatcher.DefaultNodeTypeMatcher	DefaultNodeMatcher.NodeTypeMatcher that marks pairs of nodes of the same node type as well as pairs of CDATA sections and text nodes as eligible.
Diff	The Diff-Object is the result of two comparisons.
Difference	Combines a Comparison and its result.
DifferenceEvaluators	Evaluators used for the base cases.
DOMDifferenceEngine	Difference engine based on DOM.
ElementSelectors	Common ElementSelector implementations.
MultiLevelByNameAndTextSelector	ElementSelector that allows two elements to be compared if their name (including namespace URI, if any) and textual content is the same at a certain level of nesting.
NodeFilters	Common NodeFilter implementations.
RecursiveXPathBuilder	Finds the XPathContext of a Node by recursively building up the XPathContext.
XPathContext	Helper class that keeps track of the XPath of matched nodes during comparison.
XPathContext.DOMNodeInfo	DOM based implementation of XPathContext.NodeInfo.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
ComparisonResult	The possible outcomes of a comparision.
ComparisonType	The kinds of comparisons XMLUnit performs.
