equivalent-xml gem

[wmene]

Awesome gem to check equivalency between xml documents or nodes. Has built in Rspec matchers so you can write specs like this:

expect(node_1).to be_equivalent_to(node_2)

How could it be useful in web scraping process?

[wmene]

It could be used to compare xml documents without regards to element or attribute order, similar to what the JsonCompare gem you list does for Json. Here's an example:

require 'equivalent-xml'

xml1 = '<a><b/><c/></a>'
xml2 = '<a><b/><c/></a>'
EquivalentXml.equivalent? xml1, xml2
=> true

OK, I've added it. Thank you :)
