python比较两个xml_在python中比较两个xml文件

I am new to programming in python,´and i have some troubles understanding the concept. I wish to compare two xml files. These xml files are quite large.

I will give an example for the type of files i wish to compare.

xmlfile1:

xml file2:

the property1,property2 that i have named are different from the ones that are actually in the file. There are a lot of properties within the xml file.

ANd i wish to compare the two xml files.

I am using an lxml parser to try to compare the two files and to print out the difference between them.

I do not know how to parse it and compare it automatically.

I tried reading through the lxml parser, but i couldnt understand how to use it to my problem.

Can someone please tell me how should i proceed with this problem.

Code snippets can be very useful

One more question, Am i following the right concept or i am missing something else? Please correct me of any new concepts that you knwo about

This is actually a reasonably challenging problem (due to what "difference" means often being in the eye of the beholder here, as there will be semantically "equivalent" information that you probably don't want marked as differences).
