xjparse

The xjparse library provides a convenient wrapper for running W3C XML Schema validation with Xerces.

Usage: java [java options] com.nwalsh.parsers.XJParse [parser options] doc.xml

Where [parser options] are:

• -c catalogFile to load a particular XML Catalog
• -v to perform a (DTD) validating parse
• -s to enable W3C XML Schema validation
• -S schema.xsd to use schema.xsd for validation, implies -s
• -f to enable full schema checking, implies -s
• -n to perform a namespace-ignorant parse
• -E integer to specify the maximum number of errors to display
• -d to enable debug mode; show stack trace on errors
• -q to use quiet mode; validation warning and error messages suppressed

The process ends with error-level 1 if there are errors, 0 otherwise.

Distributions

There are two jar files:

• xjparse-app-X.Y.Z.jar contains the application classes and all of the dependencies. You can run the application directly out of this jar file.
• xjparse-X.Y.Z.jar contains only the application classes; to use it, you’ll need to put the dependencies on your class path. (Look in build.gradle for the current set of dependencies.)

Testing

Running the following command:

java -jar xjparse-app-3.0.0.jar -f -S src/test/resources/schema/doc.xsd src/test/resources/docs/sample.xml

will demonstrate the results.
