在Java中比较2个XML文档的最佳方法

Question

我正在尝试编写一个应用程序的自动测试,它基本上将自定义消息格式转换为XML消息并将其发送到另一端.我有一组很好的输入/输出消息对,所以我需要做的就是发送输入消息并监听XML消息从另一端出来.

当需要将实际输出与预期输出进行比较时,我遇到了一些问题.我的第一个想法就是对预期和实际消息进行字符串比较.这样做效果不好,因为我们拥有的示例数据并不总是一致地格式化,并且通常会有不同的别名用于XML命名空间(有时根本不使用命名空间.)

我知道我可以解析两个字符串,然后遍历每个元素并自己进行比较,这不会太困难,但我觉得有一个更好的方法或我可以利用的库.

所以,归结起来,问题是:

给定两个包含有效XML的Java字符串,您将如何确定它们在语义上是否等效？如果您有办法确定差异是什么,可以获得奖励积分.

Answer 1

听起来像XMLUnit的工作

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

例:

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
    assertXMLEquals(xml1, xml2);  // assertXMLEquals comes from XMLTestCase
  }
}

Answer 2

以下将使用标准JDK库检查文档是否相同.

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()是为了确保没有循环(技术上不会有任何循环)

上面的代码将要求空格中的空格相同,因为它保留并评估它.Java附带的标准XML解析器不允许您设置一个功能来提供规范版本,或者了解xml:space这是否会成为问题,那么您可能需要替换XML解析器(如xerces)或使用JDOM.

Answer 3

Xom有一个Canonicalizer实用程序,可以将您的DOM转换为常规形式,然后您可以进行字符串化和比较.因此,无论空白不规则或属性排序如何,您都可以对文档进行定期,可预测的比较.

这在具有专用可视字符串比较器(如Eclipse)的IDE中尤其有效.您可以直观地表示文档之间的语义差异.

Answer 4

最新版本的XMLUnit可以帮助断言两个XML的工作是相同的.也XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace()并XMLUnit.setIgnoreAttributeOrder()可能有必要在问题的情况下.

请参阅下面的XML单元使用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,请将其添加到您的pom.xml:

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

Answer 5

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);

这是文档

在Tom的回答的基础上,这是一个使用XMLUnit v2的例子.

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
    }
}
