How to compare value of XML tags from two different XML files using "Read properties from File"?

File 1:

<company>
<employee>
<fname>sam</fname>
<empid>1234</empid>
</employee>
<employee>
<fname>John</fname>
<empid>9876</empid>
</employee>
</company>

File 2:

<employee>
<firstname>sameer</firstname>
<empid>1234</empid>
</employee>

I want to verify whether value of fname(sam) from file1.xml is same as firstname(Sameer) from file2.xml.

I used "Read properties from File" step to read values of XML file.

To access value of firstname  I used {{firstname}} which gave me the value "Sameer"

My question is how to retrieve fname value as it has parent child relation ship?

I tried {{company.employee[0].fname}}, but I did not get the value.

How to get the value of XML tag which has parent child relationship in "Read properties from File"?

You can create a XML XPath filter on fname (for example, {{fname}}) in your first XML file and then use assertion "Ensure properties Are Equal" and compare the filters {{fname}} and {{firstname}}.

Prema,

Thanks.Even I had an idea of using XML XPath filter . But want to know whether the same can be done via Read properties from File step to get value of child tag.
