Method Detail

• addComparisonListener

  void addComparisonListener(ComparisonListener l)

  Registers a listener that is notified of each comparison.

• addMatchListener

  void addMatchListener(ComparisonListener l)

  Registers a listener that is notified of each comparison with outcome ComparisonResult.EQUAL.

• addDifferenceListener

  void addDifferenceListener(ComparisonListener l)

  Registers a listener that is notified of each comparison with outcome other than ComparisonResult.EQUAL.

• setNodeMatcher

  void setNodeMatcher(NodeMatcher n)

  Sets the strategy for selecting nodes to compare.

• setAttributeFilter

  void setAttributeFilter(Predicate<Attr> attributeFilter)

  Sets the optional strategy that decides which attributes to consider and which to ignore during comparison.

  Only attributes for which the predicate returns true are part of the comparison. By default all attributes are considered.

  The "special" namespace, namespace-location and schema-instance-type attributes can not be ignored this way. If you want to suppress comparison of them you'll need to implement DifferenceEvaluator.

• setNodeFilter

  void setNodeFilter(Predicate<Node> nodeFilter)

  Sets the optional strategy that decides which nodes to consider and which to ignore during comparison.

  Only nodes for which the predicate returns true are part of the comparison. By default nodes that are not document types are considered.

• setDifferenceEvaluator

  void setDifferenceEvaluator(DifferenceEvaluator e)

  Evaluates the severity of a difference.

• setComparisonController

  void setComparisonController(ComparisonController c)

  Determines whether the comparison should stop after given difference has been found.

• setNamespaceContext

  void setNamespaceContext(Map<String,String> prefix2uri)

  Establish a namespace context that will be used in Comparison.Detail#getXPath.

  Without a namespace context (or with an empty context) the XPath expressions will only use local names for elements and attributes.

  Parameters:

  prefix2Uri - maps from prefix to namespace URI.

• compare

  void compare(Source control,
             Source test)

  Compares two pieces of XML and invokes the registered listeners.
