NAME

Test::XML::Deep = XML::Simple + Test::Deep

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

This module can be used to easily test that some XML has the structure and values you desire.

It is particularly useful when some values in your XML document may differ from one test run to another (for example, a timestamp).

An Example:

use Test::XML::Deep;

my $xml = <<EOXML;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<example>
    <sometag attribute="value">some data</sometag>
    <sometag attribute="other">more data</sometag>
</example>
EOXML

my $expected = { 'sometag' => [
                               {
                                 'attribute' => 'value',
                                 'content' => 'some data'
                               },
                               {
                                 'attribute' => 'other',
                                 'content' => 'more data'
                               }
                             ]
               };

cmp_xml_deeply($xml, $expected);

Or, you can use Test::Deep and make use of the functions it exports (I.E. array_each(), re()):

use Test::Deep;
use Test::XML::Deep;

my $xml = <<EOXML;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<example>
    <sometag attribute="1234">some data</sometag>
    <sometag attribute="4321">more data</sometag>
</example>
EOXML

my $expected = { 'sometag' => array_each( { 'attribute' => re('^\d+$'),
                                            'content' => re('data$'),
                                           }
                              )
               };

cmp_xml_deeply($xml, $expected);
