XML file compare - ignoring file structure

I am looking for a generic way to compare the information in 2 separate (xml) files regardless of the structure of the files. What I need is a way to check the two files. Evaluate if the data is equal and reflect (report) only the discrepancies. e.g. File 1============ Dear John Reminder Do not forget the meeting ============ File 2============ Dear John Do not forget the meeting Reminder ============ The script I am using only does a 1-2-1 element comparison - so although the information in the file is equal the test results in a failure because the elements appear in different places in the files. Any help is appreciated.
