I want to compare two Document objects. That is compare their contents to see if they are exactly the same. This would mean recursively traversing through each node in the Document and comparing it with the other Document.
Is there are routine, method or library to do this already? If not then I could write my own, using a DOMTreeWalker for each Document, they would be iterated through and as soon as an inequality encountered then the code would indicating not equal. Another way might be to generate a checksum and compare, or perhaps even use the checksum available from the file that the Document is created from. I've already searched google and this forum using the terms compare and comparison. The closest I got was: http://www.nabble.com/Node-equals()---to7319083.html#a7319083 Which seems to be what I'm looking for in the original post of this thread but the responses seem off topic and talk about "serializing entity defs with quotes". Thoughts?
