Sorry I am not sure where to ask this question so I am asking here.

We were using xmlunit 1.5 and now would like to use the latest xmlunit which is 2.5.1.

I looked at the user guide. I do not see something like setXpathFilter to ignore only the nodes in that particular Xpath position. Can anyone point me to the correct place for this please? All I am looking for is an API or method that will help me in ignoring Xpath nodes while comparing the XMLs'

@hariraogotit my personal preference for asking questions would be the mailing list followed by the forum followed by an issue here. But please create a new one and do not comment on an unrelated issue.

As for your question, please see https://github.com/xmlunit/user-guide/wiki/SelectingNodes#nodefilter-and-attributefilter you'd have to implement the NodeFilter yourself, there is no builtin solution for ignoring nodes based on XPath.
