The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: XML::Validator::Schema
DSLIP: adpOp
description: validate XML with a subset of W3C XML Schema
userid: SAMTREGAR (Sam Tregar)
chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc)
communities:
perl-xml, my use.perl journal
similar:
XML::Schema, XML::Xerces
rationale:
I'm writing a piece of software which uses Xerces/C++
(http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/ ) to validate documents against XML
Schema schemas. This works very well, but I'd like to release my
project to the world. Requiring users to install Xerces is simply
too onerous a requirement; few will have it already and the Xerces
installation system leaves much to be desired.
On CPAN, the only available XML Schema validator is XML::Schema.
Unfortunately, this module isn't ready for use as it lacks the
ability to actually parse the XML Schema document format! I looked
into enhancing XML::Schema but I must admit that I'm not smart
enough to understand the code... One day, when XML::Schema is
completed I will replace this module with a wrapper around it.
This module represents my attempt to support enough XML Schema
syntax to be useful without attempting to tackle the full standard.
I'm sure this will mean that it can't be used in all situations, but
hopefully that won't prevent it from being used at all.
My orignal name for the module was XML::SchemaValidator, but I was
persuaded by the perl-xml denizens to put it under XML::Validator::.
Others on the list dream of the day when a multitude of XML
validators are available and a compatible API can be worked out at
the XML::Validator level.
