Prakash,
 
I think the sequence of xml elements is decided by schema. If schema
doesn't define the sequence, the sequence of elements is NOT important?
Is it right?
 
I find the function Similar in Diff class which "Return the result of a
comparison. Two documents are considered to be "similar" if they contain
the same elements and attributes regardless of order. " So the author
has already given us the option.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Sequence of element, text and cdata nodes are very important.  Sequence
of attribute nodes don't matter.

It is upto each comparison API (diff API) to decide whether sequence of
attributes are also compared or not.

Thanks,
Prakash

	I use xmlunit these days and think it's quite good. Now I
encounter one
	problem. I find when I compare two XML Document, the result is
sensible
	to the sequence of the Node. 
	
	Is it a bug? Or I miss something?
	
	Thanks,

	Hello,
	
	Is there any Java API to compare two DOM Node equal or not?  
	
	And is there any Java API to compare two XML file equal or not?
	
	Thanks,
