Field Detail

Default

public static final ElementSelector Default

Always returns true, i.e. each element can be compared to each other element.

Generally this means elements will be compared in document order.

byName

public static final ElementSelector byName

Elements with the same local name (and namespace URI - if any) can be compared.

byNameAndText

public static final ElementSelector byNameAndText

Elements with the same local name (and namespace URI - if any) and nested text (if any) can be compared.

byNameAndAllAttributes

public static final ElementSelector byNameAndAllAttributes

Elements with the same local name (and namespace URI - if any) and attribute values for all attributes can be compared.

Method Detail

byNameAndAttributes

public static ElementSelector byNameAndAttributes(String... attribs)

Elements with the same local name (and namespace URI - if any) and attribute values for the given attribute names can be compared.

Attributes are only searched for in the null namespace.

byNameAndAttributesControlNS

public static ElementSelector byNameAndAttributesControlNS(String... attribs)

Elements with the same local name (and namespace URI - if any) and attribute values for the given attribute names can be compared.

Namespace URIs of attributes are those of the attributes on the control element or the null namespace if they don't exist.

byNameAndAttributes

public static ElementSelector byNameAndAttributes(QName... attribs)

Elements with the same local name (and namespace URI - if any) and attribute values for the given attribute names can be compared.

not

public static ElementSelector not(ElementSelector es)

Negates another ElementSelector.

or

public static ElementSelector or(ElementSelector... selectors)

Accepts two elements if at least one of the given ElementSelectors does.

There is an important difference between using or(org.xmlunit.diff.ElementSelector...) to combine multiple ElementSelectors and using DefaultNodeMatcher's constructor with multiple ElementSelectors:

Consider ElementSelectors e1 and e2 and two control and test nodes each. Assume e1 would match the first control node to the second test node and vice versa if used alone, while e2 would match the nodes in order (the first control node to the first test and so on).

or(org.xmlunit.diff.ElementSelector...) creates a combined ElementSelector that is willing to match the first control node to both of the test nodes - and the same for the second control node. Since nodes are compared in order when possible the result will be the same as running e2 alone.

DefaultNodeMatcher with two ElementSelectors will consult the ElementSelectors separately and only invoke e2 if there are any nodes not matched by e1 at all. In this case the result will be the same as running e1 alone.

and

public static ElementSelector and(ElementSelector... selectors)

Accepts two elements if all of the given ElementSelectors do.

xor

public static ElementSelector xor(ElementSelector es1,
                                  ElementSelector es2)

Accepts two elements if exactly on of the given ElementSelectors does.

conditionalSelector

public static ElementSelector conditionalSelector(Predicate<? super Element> predicate,
                                                  ElementSelector es)

Applies the wrapped ElementSelector's logic if and only if the control element matches the given predicate.

selectorForElementNamed

public static ElementSelector selectorForElementNamed(String expectedName,
                                                      ElementSelector es)

Applies the wrapped ElementSelector's logic if and only if the control element has the given (local) name.

selectorForElementNamed

public static ElementSelector selectorForElementNamed(QName expectedName,
                                                      ElementSelector es)

Applies the wrapped ElementSelector's logic if and only if the control element has the given name.

byXPath

public static ElementSelector byXPath(String xpath,
                                      ElementSelector childSelector)

Selects two elements as matching if the child elements selected via XPath match using the given childSelector.

The xpath expression should yield elements. Two elements match if a DefaultNodeMatcher applied to the selected children finds matching pairs for all children.

Parameters:

xpath - XPath expression applied in the context of the elements to chose from that selects the children to compare.

childSelector - ElementSelector to apply to the selected children.

byXPath

public static ElementSelector byXPath(String xpath,
                                      Map<String,String> prefix2Uri,
                                      ElementSelector childSelector)

Selects two elements as matching if the child elements selected via XPath match using the given childSelector.

The xpath expression should yield elements. Two elements match if a DefaultNodeMatcher applied to the selected children finds matching pairs for all children.

Parameters:

xpath - XPath expression applied in the context of the elements to chose from that selects the children to compare.

prefix2Uri - maps from prefix to namespace URI.

childSelector - ElementSelector to apply to the selected children.

conditionalBuilder

public static ElementSelectors.ConditionalSelectorBuilder conditionalBuilder()

Allows to build complex ElementSelectors by combining simpler blocks.

All pairs created by the when*/thenUse pairs are evaluated in order until one returns true, finally the default, if any, is consulted.
