Well the reason I ask this is it's possible to have an XML String that is quite different than another XML String, but as far as an XML document goes - they are equivalent.
Such as: <document> <child>the child</child> </document> and <document><child>the child</child></document> These should be equal for a unit test, but you certainly wouldn't get equivalence if you just looked at the string values. Also the ordering between the document structures could be different, but for your purposes the ordering doesn't matter. That's what XmlUnit does for you... Thinking XmlUnit is the way to go with this.....
