    Take a look at Fluent Assertions library documentation here: https://fluentassertions.com/introduction

    The section entitled “XML classes” sounds like what you’re after. The code uses LINQ-to-XML underneath.

    xDocument.Should().HaveRoot("configuration");
xDocument.Should().HaveElement("settings");

xElement.Should().HaveAttribute("age", "36");
xElement.Should().HaveElement("address");

xAttribute.Should().HaveValue("Amsterdam");

    You can install FluentAssertions from nuget here: http://nuget.org/packages/FluentAssertions
