Validate XML Using XSD

Stylus Studio® allows you to easily validate XML documents against any data model defined using W3C XSD, using any major XSD Validator, including MSXML 3.0, MSXML 4.0, MSXML 6.0, Xerces-J, Xerces-C, Microsoft System.XML (1.0 and 2.0), XSV, the Saxonica XSD Validator and all other validating XSD parsers (or DTD parsers). This means that you can use the same XML processing components in Stylus Studio®'s award-winning XML IDE that you use in your real-world production environment.

Validating XML documents using MSXML, Xerces, XSV, System.XML, & other XSD Validators.

Validating an XML document in Stylus Studio® is easy, just load an XML document, associate an XSD, click on the Validate XML button (the green checkmark) then select a validating XSD processor to use. The results of the XML parsing and validation operation (usually a success, error or warning message) are printed to the output Window.

Specifying a default XSD processor, or configuring a new, custom XSD processor to work Stylus Studio® is easy, just go to "Custom Validation Engines" in the Options panel which displays a list of available XSD Validators that are configured to work with Stylus Studio®. By default, we've included several of the most popular XSD validators, including MSXML, Xerces, XSV, System.XML and others, in addition to the built-in Stylus Studio® XSD processor. To add another validating XSD processor, click on the "New" button, and specify the command line arguments, initial directory, and path used to invoke the new XML processor and click OK.
