    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 ?
