XSD (XML Schema Definition) - XML Validation

<< JDK (Java Development Kit) Tutorials

This chapter provides tutorial notes and example codes on XSD (XML Schema Definition). Topics include writing an XML XSD validator using an external XML parser, Xerces-J; validating XML files with an XSD schema; loading external XML parsers.

XML XSD Schema Validation with Xerces

XML XSD Schema Validation Test Result

Loading External XML Parsers with SAXParserFactory

Conclusion:

• JDK does not support XML XSD validation. The external XML parser Xerces-J can do XSD validation.
• External XML parser can be created with the XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader() method.

Notes and sample codes bellow are based on JDK/J2SDK 1.4.1_01.
