- Enum Constant Detail
  - XML_VERSION
```
public static final ComparisonType XML_VERSION
```
    Do both documents specify the same version in their XML declaration?
  - XML_STANDALONE
```
public static final ComparisonType XML_STANDALONE
```
    Do both documents specify the same standalone declaration in their XML declaration?
  - XML_ENCODING
```
public static final ComparisonType XML_ENCODING
```
    Do both documents specify the same encoding in their XML declaration?
  - HAS_DOCTYPE_DECLARATION
```
public static final ComparisonType HAS_DOCTYPE_DECLARATION
```
    Do both documents have a DOCTYPE (or neither of each)?
    This difference is most likely masked by a CHILD_NODELIST_LENGTH difference as the number of children of the document node is tested before the presence of the document type declaration.
  - DOCTYPE_NAME
```
public static final ComparisonType DOCTYPE_NAME
```
    If the documents both have DOCTYPEs, compare the names.
  - DOCTYPE_PUBLIC_ID
```
public static final ComparisonType DOCTYPE_PUBLIC_ID
```
    If the documents both have DOCTYPEs, compare the PUBLIC identifiers.
  - DOCTYPE_SYSTEM_ID
```
public static final ComparisonType DOCTYPE_SYSTEM_ID
```
    If the documents both have DOCTYPEs, compare the SYSTEM identifiers.
  - SCHEMA_LOCATION
```
public static final ComparisonType SCHEMA_LOCATION
```
    Check whether both documents provide the same values for xsi:schemaLocation (may even be null).
  - NO_NAMESPACE_SCHEMA_LOCATION
```
public static final ComparisonType NO_NAMESPACE_SCHEMA_LOCATION
```
    Check whether both documents provide the same values for xsi:noNamspaceSchemaLocation (may even be null).
  - NODE_TYPE
```
public static final ComparisonType NODE_TYPE
```
    Compare the node types.
  - NAMESPACE_PREFIX
```
public static final ComparisonType NAMESPACE_PREFIX
```
    Compare the node's namespace prefixes.
  - NAMESPACE_URI
```
public static final ComparisonType NAMESPACE_URI
```
    Compare the node's namespace URIs.
  - TEXT_VALUE
```
public static final ComparisonType TEXT_VALUE
```
    Compare content of text nodes, comments and CDATA sections.

```
public static final ComparisonType PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_TARGET
```
    Compare targets of processing instructions.
  - PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_DATA
```
public static final ComparisonType PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_DATA
```
    Compare data of processing instructions.
  - ELEMENT_TAG_NAME
```
public static final ComparisonType ELEMENT_TAG_NAME
```

```
public static final ComparisonType ELEMENT_NUM_ATTRIBUTES
```
    Compare number of attributes.
  - ATTR_VALUE
```
public static final ComparisonType ATTR_VALUE
```
    Compare attribute's value.

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static ComparisonType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (ComparisonType c : ComparisonType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ComparisonType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getDescription
```
public String getDescription()
```
