Questions tagged [xmlunit]

XMLUnit is an open source project which enables JUnit-style assertions to be made about the content and structure of XML.

XMLUnit extends and to enable unit testing of XML.

It compares a control XML document to a test document or the result of a transformation, validates documents, and compares the results of expressions.

XMLUnit for Java

XMLUnit for Java provides two JUnit extension classes, XMLAssert and XMLTestCase, and a set of supporting classes (e.g. Diff, DetailedDiff,Transform,SimpleXpathEngine,Validator,NodeTest) that allow assertions to be made about:

  • The differences between two pieces of XML
  • The outcome of transforming a piece of XML using XSLT
  • The evaluation of an XPath expression on a piece of XML
  • The validity of a piece of XML
  • Individual nodes in a piece of XML that are exposed by DOM Traversal

XMLUnit for Java can also treat HTML content (even badly-formed HTML) as valid XML to allow these assertions to be made about the content of web pages too.

XMLUnit is available for and .
