Nodes are compared by identity, not by content. Note this is quite different from the "=" operator, which tests whether there is a pair of nodes with the same string-value, and the deep-equal() function, which compares nodes pairwise but by content.</p> <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <p align="right"><a class="nav" href="hexbinarytooctets.xml">Next</a></p> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
