XML formatting comparison

I have a strange issue with XML formatting.

Is 

<SomeObject Name="SomeName" Surname="Surname" Age="23" />

the same as:

<SomeObject>
    <Name>SomeName</Name>
    <Surname>Surname</Surname>
    <Age>23</Age>
</SomeObject>

Could you check and tell me if those two markups mean the same?

One of your snippets uses an element with attributes, the other uses an element with child elements. That's not a formatting difference, it's a different way of modelling your data.

What exactly is your question? If you're asking whether these two snippets are the same, then the answer is no, they aren't.
