In XML, is order important?

by

Order of elements is significant in XML, so in your example the two documents are different. Attribute order is not significant, though.

<people>
  <person name="kathy" id="1"/>
</people>

This is exactly the same as:

<people>
  <person id="1" name="kathy"/>
</people>
