Compare 2 XML responses for mismatches

HI,

Is it possible to compare 2 XML responses from a test steps which are using different endpoints and then compare the XML responses for any differences.

I am using SOAPUI (free)

Thank you

You can write a groovy script to do so.

It might be the case that the two responses might be in different format, need to first be in the same format to be able to compare.

Another thing to consider is that are there any variable data i.e., numbers, dates, uuid etc which never gets matched and to be ignored.

  How do i compare only the format of 2 XML responses ?
  
  I would like to:
  
  Send a PUT request1 that contains right XML elements -> Get RESPONSE1 format (i dont care about the inside content)
  Send a PUT request2 that contains same XML elements but in a different order -> Get same RESPONSE1 format (i dont care about the inside content)
  
  I just want to confirm that the response is in the same format of XML elements. nmrao ?

Use the below code to compare the value of two responces

import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def response1 = context.expand( '${Getvalue1#Response}' ).toString() // the request Name or variabe
log.info(response1)
def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def jsons = slurper.parseText response1

def response = context.expand( '${Getvalue2#Response}' ).toString() The request name or variable
log.info(response)
def slurperz = new JsonSlurper()
def json = slurper.parseText response
///log.info(json.EmployeeNumber)
assert [json]==[jsons].sort{compare} // compare the two Values responses

It worked for on my end unless if you have issues with Arrays order on the responses
