Class DetailedDiff

java.lang.Object

org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Diff

org.custommonkey.xmlunit.DetailedDiff

All Implemented Interfaces:

ComparisonController, DifferenceListener

public class DetailedDiff
extends Diff

Compares and describes all the differences between two XML documents. The document comparison does not stop once the first unrecoverable difference is found, unlike the Diff class. Note that because the differences are described relative to some control XML the list of all differences when A is compared to B will not necessarily be the same as when B is compared to A.
