XSD Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples

∟Using Xerces2 Java API

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 2.11.0 beta version.

XML Schema (XSD) Validation using XMLReader

Running XMLReaderValidator with Xerces2 2.11.0 Beta

Running XMLReaderValidator on XSD 1.1 Schema

XML Schema (XSD) Validation using SAXParser

SAXParser for XSD Validation in JDK 1.7

SAXParser for XSD 1.1 Validation

Xsd11SchemaValidator.java for XSD 1.1 Validation

Xsd11SchemaValidator.java XSD 1.1 Test Result

Conclusion:

• Xerces2 Java Parser is included in JDK now as the default XML parser.
• 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 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)" version works with the javax.xml.validation.Schema class for XSD 1.1 schema validation.
