[Xmlunit-general] Help on how to ignore some nodes during comparison

[Abhin U. <ud...@gm...>]

Hi,
    I am relatively new to xmlunit, and need to compare two xml files got
from different sources.
    I have two xml files which look something like this :

<Customer-list>
         // Various customer nodes
         <Customer>
               <Attribute name=3D"Name">
                         <Value>John</Value>
               </Attribute>
         </Customer>
</Customer-list>

 <Customer-list>
         // Various customer nodes
         <Customer>
               <Attribute name=3D"Name">
                         <Value>John</Value>
               </Attribute>
                <Attribute name=3D"Age">
                         <Value>36</Value>
               </Attribute>
         </Customer>
</Customer-list>

I want the comparison of these two nodes to be accounted as similiar.
i.eThe Age node has to be ignored completely ( Even if the values of
age are
different in the two nodes, or absent in one of them ) during comparison.

Is there any easy way, without writing a recusrsive search and ignore
myself.

Thanks,
Abhin H
