∟Using Xerces2 Java APIs

This chapter provides notes and tutorial examples on Xerces2 Java Parser API. Topics include validating sample XML files with assigned XML Schema files (XSD) with XMLReader and SAXParser classes in Xerces2; Testing default SAXParser implementation in JDK; Validating XSD 1.1 schema with Xerces2 JAR files.

JAXP, DOM and SAX APIs in Xerces2 JARs

XML Schema (XSD) Validation using XMLReader

Running XMLReaderValidator on XSD 1.1 Schema

XML Schema (XSD) Validation using SAXParser

SAXParser for XSD Validation Fixed

SAXParser for XSD 1.1 Validation

Xsd11SchemaValidator.java for XSD 1.1 Validation

Xsd11SchemaValidator.java XSD 1.1 Test Result

Takeaways:

Apache Xerces2 Java package share 3 APIS, JAXP, DOM, SAX with JDK. But it offers newer version of implementation classes of those API than JDK.
Validating XML document against XSD schema can be done with the javax.xml.validation.Schema class.
Validating XML document against XSD schema can be done with both org.xml.sax.XMLReader and javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser classes.
"Xerces2 2.12.1 (XML Schema 1.1)" version works with the javax.xml.validation.Schema class for XSD 1.1 schema validation.
