[Xmlunit-general] comparing XMLs containing space characters

[igor <ig...@iz...>]

Hi,

overall the library is working very nice, thanks for it.

But when I run following code, I get as a result that the XMLs do not 
match - are not equal. Is this intended behavior? I tried to debug the 
source code but it seems to be pretty complex for me, I believe you can 
find the cause much faster than me.

// code start

import java.io.IOException;
import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLTestCase;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;


public static void main(String[] args) {
        XMLTestCase xmlTestCase = new XMLTestCase(){};
        String original = "<a>  </a>"; // here are some space characters 
in between the beginning-end tags
        String newVersion =  "<a></a>";
        try {
            xmlTestCase.assertXMLEqual(original, newVersion);
        } catch (SAXException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

// code end

Best regards
