Comparing 2 XML Documents

2005-11-09 05:28:47
Does anyone know a good way of comparing aspects of two XML instance documents using XSLT. The number of possible differences may be large so I would prefer not to have to create a hard coded test for each e.g. would prefer not to do this :-

<xsl:variable name="foo" select="document('foo.xml')"/>

<xsl:template match="Person">

<xsl:if test="FName = $foo/Person/FNamel"> .. report mis-match .. </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="MiddleInitial = $foo/Person/MiddleInitial"> .. report mis-match .. </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="LName = $foo/Person/LName"> .. report mis-match .. </xsl:if>
   ....

</xsl:template>

   ... gzillions of other templates and tests ...

Am I barking up the wrong tree here trying to do this sort of thing in XSLT ??

Cheers

Fraser.
