[Xmlunit-general] Bypass new line characters

[Jaydeep A. <jay...@pe...>]

Hello,

 

I have a requirement to compare xml data returned from an api against xml
data saved in file. I am using xmlunit for the same.

 

Xml data returned from api -

 

<?xml
version="1.0"?><VEHICLE_LIST><SCREEN_NAME>FE601019</SCREEN_NAME><SCREEN_NAME
>FE601018</SCREEN_NAME><SCREEN_NAME>CD601015</SCREEN_NAME><SCREEN_NAME>CD601
016</SCREEN_NAME><SCREEN_NAME>CA000382</SCREEN_NAME></VEHICLE_LIST>

 

Xml data from file -

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<VEHICLE_LIST>

     <SCREEN_NAME>FE601019</SCREEN_NAME>

     <SCREEN_NAME>FE601018</SCREEN_NAME>

     <SCREEN_NAME>CD601015</SCREEN_NAME>

     <SCREEN_NAME>CD601016</SCREEN_NAME>

     <SCREEN_NAME>CA000382</SCREEN_NAME>

</VEHICLE_LIST>

 

Data from both sources is same except file has extra newline characters
<\n>. These characters are also considered during comparison and hence it
fails.

 

Any idea as how to bypass new line characters? 

One option is to read file and skip all new line characters.

 

Thanks

Jaydeep
