RE: [xml-dev] xml validation

[Brian Shields <bgshields@yahoo.com>]

but is there not a parser out there that i can use that will do something like:

Parser p = new Parser();
p.setSchemaLocation(schemaFile.xsd);
p.parse(xmlFile.xml);

and this will ensure that each tag in the xml file has a corresponding definition in the schema, and will also throw an error if the schema defines that the information contained in a tag must be an integer, and in the xml file this information is a string.
This kind of parser cant be that simple to write and i can't affoard to process an xml file unless i know that the information in it is what it is supposed to be.

Thanks again,
Brian.
