Xom有一个Canonicalizer实用程序，它可以将dom转换为常规形式，然后可以对其进行字符串化和比较。因此，无论空白不规则性或属性顺序如何，都可以对文档进行常规的、可预测的比较。

这在具有专用可视字符串比较器的ide中工作得特别好，比如Eclipse。您将得到文档之间语义差异的可视化表示。

听起来像是XMLUnit的工作

http://www.xmlunit.org/ https://github.com/xmlunit

例子:

public class SomeTest extends XMLTestCase {
  @Test
  public void test() {
    String xml1 = ...
    String xml2 = ...

    XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true); // ignore whitespace differences

    // can also compare xml Documents, InputSources, Readers, Diffs
    assertXMLEqual(xml1, xml2);  // assertXMLEquals comes from XMLTestCase
  }
}

斯卡夫曼似乎给出了一个很好的答案。

另一种方法可能是使用命令行实用程序(如xmlstarlet(http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/))格式化XML，然后格式化两个字符串，然后使用任何diff实用程序(库)来区分结果输出文件。我不知道当出现名称空间问题时，这是否是一个好的解决方案。

既然您说“语义等效”，我假设您的意思是您想做的不仅仅是字面上验证xml输出是(string)等于，并且您想要类似于

<foo>这里有些东西</foo></code>

and

<foo>这里有些东西</foo></code>

阅读时一定要对等。最终，这将关系到您如何定义“语义等效”，无论您从哪个对象重构消息。只需从消息构建该对象，并使用自定义equals()定义您要查找的内容。

我正在使用Altova DiffDog，它有选项来比较XML文件的结构(忽略字符串数据)。

这意味着(如果检查'ignore text'选项):

<foo a="xxx" b="xxx">xxx</foo>

and

<foo b="yyy" a="yyy">yyy</foo> 

在结构上是平等的。如果您有数据不同但结构不同的示例文件，这是很方便的!

下面将使用标准JDK库检查文档是否相等。

DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
dbf.setCoalescing(true);
dbf.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
dbf.setIgnoringComments(true);
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();

Document doc1 = db.parse(new File("file1.xml"));
doc1.normalizeDocument();

Document doc2 = db.parse(new File("file2.xml"));
doc2.normalizeDocument();

Assert.assertTrue(doc1.isEqualNode(doc2));

Normalize()用于确保没有循环(技术上不会有任何循环)

上面的代码将要求元素中的空格相同，因为它保留并计算它。Java附带的标准XML解析器不允许您设置一个特性来提供规范版本或理解XML:space(如果这将成为一个问题，那么您可能需要替换XML解析器，如xerces或使用JDOM)。

使用JExamXML与java应用程序

    import com.a7soft.examxml.ExamXML;
    import com.a7soft.examxml.Options;

       .................

       // Reads two XML files into two strings
       String s1 = readFile("orders1.xml");
       String s2 = readFile("orders.xml");

       // Loads options saved in a property file
       Options.loadOptions("options");

       // Compares two Strings representing XML entities
       System.out.println( ExamXML.compareXMLString( s1, s2 ) );

XMLUnit的最新版本可以帮助断言两个XML是相等的。此外，对于所讨论的情况，可能还需要xmlunt . setignorewhitespace()和xmlunt . setignoreattributeorder()。

请参阅下面使用XML Unit的简单示例的工作代码。

import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.DetailedDiff;
import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLUnit;
import org.junit.Assert;

public class TestXml {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String result = "<abc             attr=\"value1\"                title=\"something\">            </abc>";
        // will be ok
        assertXMLEquals("<abc attr=\"value1\" title=\"something\"></abc>", result);
    }

    public static void assertXMLEquals(String expectedXML, String actualXML) throws Exception {
        XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true);
        XMLUnit.setIgnoreAttributeOrder(true);

        DetailedDiff diff = new DetailedDiff(XMLUnit.compareXML(expectedXML, actualXML));

        List<?> allDifferences = diff.getAllDifferences();
        Assert.assertEquals("Differences found: "+ diff.toString(), 0, allDifferences.size());
    }

}

如果使用Maven，请将此添加到pom.xml中:

<dependency>
    <groupId>xmlunit</groupId>
    <artifactId>xmlunit</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
</dependency>

这将比较完整的字符串xml(在此过程中重新格式化它们)。它使您很容易使用IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse)，因为您只需单击并直观地看到XML文件中的差异。

    }

    public static String toCanonicalXml(String xml) throws InvalidCanonicalizerException, ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, CanonicalizationException, IOException {
        Canonicalizer canon = Canonicalizer.getInstance(Canonicalizer.ALGO_ID_C14N_OMIT_COMMENTS);
        byte canonXmlBytes[] = canon.canonicalize(xml.getBytes());
        return new String(canonXmlBytes);
    }

    public static String prettyFormat(String input) throws TransformerException, ParserConfigurationException, IOException, SAXException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
        InputSource src = new InputSource(new StringReader(input));
        Element document = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(src).getDocumentElement();
        Boolean keepDeclaration = input.startsWith("<?xml");
        DOMImplementationRegistry registry = DOMImplementationRegistry.newInstance();
        DOMImplementationLS impl = (DOMImplementationLS) registry.getDOMImplementation("LS");
        LSSerializer writer = impl.createLSSerializer();
        writer.getDomConfig().setParameter("format-pretty-print", Boolean.TRUE);
        writer.getDomConfig().setParameter("xml-declaration", keepDeclaration);
        return writer.writeToString(document);
    }

    public static void assertXMLEqual(String expected, String actual) throws ParserConfigurationException, IOException, SAXException, CanonicalizationException, InvalidCanonicalizerException, TransformerException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException {
        String canonicalExpected = prettyFormat(toCanonicalXml(expected));
        String canonicalActual = prettyFormat(toCanonicalXml(actual));
        assertEquals(canonicalExpected, canonicalActual);
    }
}

与XmlUnit相比，我更喜欢它，因为客户机代码(测试代码)更干净。

以Tom的回答为基础，下面是一个使用XMLUnit v2的示例。

它使用这些maven依赖项

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.xmlunit</groupId>
        <artifactId>xmlunit-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.xmlunit</groupId>
        <artifactId>xmlunit-matchers</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

．．这是测试代码

import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;
import static org.xmlunit.matchers.CompareMatcher.isIdenticalTo;
import org.xmlunit.builder.Input;
import org.xmlunit.input.WhitespaceStrippedSource;

public class SomeTest extends XMLTestCase {
    @Test
    public void test() {
        String result = "<root></root>";
        String expected = "<root>  </root>";

        // ignore whitespace differences
        // https://github.com/xmlunit/user-guide/wiki/Providing-Input-to-XMLUnit#whitespacestrippedsource
        assertThat(result, isIdenticalTo(new WhitespaceStrippedSource(Input.from(expected).build())));

        assertThat(result, isIdenticalTo(Input.from(expected).build())); // will fail due to whitespace differences
    }
}

概括这一点的文档是https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit#comparing-two-documents

AssertJ 1.4+有特定的断言来比较XML内容:

String expectedXml = "<foo />";
String actualXml = "<bar />";
assertThat(actualXml).isXmlEqualTo(expectedXml);

这里是文档

}

它比较两个XML字符串，并通过将它们转换为两个输入字符串中的唯一值来处理任何不匹配的名称空间映射。

可以在名称空间转换的情况下进行微调。但满足我的要求就行了。

下面的代码为我工作

String xml1 = ...
String xml2 = ...
XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true);
XMLUnit.setIgnoreAttributeOrder(true);
XMLAssert.assertXMLEqual(actualxml, xmlInDb);

使用XMLUnit 2.x

在pom.xml中

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xmlunit</groupId>
    <artifactId>xmlunit-assertj3</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.0</version>
</dependency>

测试实现(使用junit 5):

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.xmlunit.assertj3.XmlAssert;

public class FooTest {

    @Test
    public void compareXml() {
        //
        String xmlContentA = "<foo></foo>";
        String xmlContentB = "<foo></foo>";
        //
        XmlAssert.assertThat(xmlContentA).and(xmlContentB).areSimilar();
    }
}

其他方法:aresame ()， areNotIdentical()， areNotSimilar()

更多细节(assertThat(~).and(~)的配置和示例)请参见本文档页。

XMLUnit还有一个DifferenceEvaluator(在其他特性中)，用于进行更精确的比较。
