xsd_validator

Validates an XML file against XSDs, supports XSD version 1.1. Requires Java Runtime (version 8 or better).

API

Assert that my.xml is valid according to schema schema.xsd:

from xsd_validator import XsdValidator

validator = XsdValidator('schema.xsd')
validator.assert_valid('my.xml')

A more complex schema may be split between several files, for example: schema.xsd, schema-aux.xsd and xml.xsd. Just pass them all to the XsdValidator:

from xsd_validator import XsdValidator

validator = XsdValidator('schema.xsd', 'schema-aux.xsd', 'xml.xsd')
validator.assert_valid('my.xml')

Sometimes you need to get all problems discovered. You can loop through the errors like this:

from xsd_validator import XsdValidator

validator = XsdValidator('schema.xsd', 'schema-aux.xsd', 'xml.xsd')
for err in validator('my.xml'):
    print(err)

CLI

You can use xsd_validator module as an executable, like this:

python -m xsd_validator

For example:

python -m xsd_validator schema.xsd my.xml

python -m xsd_validator -husage: xsd_validator [-h] xsd [xsd ...] xml
