Test::XML::Order - Compare the order of XML tags in perl tests
Version 1.01
use Test::XML::Order tests => 3; is_xml_in_order( '<foo /><foo />', '<foo></foo><foo x="a"/>' ); # PASS is_xml_in_order( '<foo /><bar />', '<bar /><foo />' ); # FAIL isnt_xml_in_order( '<foo /><bar />', '<bar /><foo />' ); # PASS
This module contains generic XML testing tools. See below for a list of other modules with functions relating to specific XML modules.
This function compares GOT and EXPECTED, both of which are strings of XML. The comparison works only on the order of the tags, attributes are ignored.
Returns true or false, depending upon test success.
This function is similar to is_xml_in_order(), except that it will fail if GOT and MUST_NOT_BE have elements in the same order.
Please note the following about Test::XML::Order.
The package does not check that the input is well formed XML. You should use Test::XML or a similar package if you want to make sure the XML is well formed.
Test::XML
Only the order of tags are checked, so
is_xml_in_order('<a a="b"/>x<b></b>', '<a/><b a="c">asdf</b>');
passes as the inputs have the same order: '<a/><b/>'.
The tree structure is tested so the the test below passes.
isnt_xml_in_order('<a><b/></a>', '<a/><b/>');
Test::More, Test::XML.
