Comparing XML

Hi @FrankColumbo ,

I’ve approached it with a piece of java to reduce the node-workload, and then added some nodes on top.

I hit upon a thought that two pieces of XML are the same, if you can beak both xml down into all the different “groups” of elements and within those groups sort all the elements by name and value, and then take all those sub-groups and sort them again… And if what you end up with is the same string, then they are materially the same xml…

Ok that’s a bit of a mouthful and not particularly well explained, so…let me know if this gets close…

A word of caution: it’s quite possible that I’ve not considered a scenario, and that this will miss it, so this should be considered work-in-progress until fully tested!
