Description
Validates XML against schema.Please pass in XML file path and a valid XSD schema.
Return list of errors, so you see them all.
If you use Process.SetCurrentDirectory to change current folder for the application process, the library uses this folder to search for referenced xsd files.
Changed with version 10.2 that you can pass schema as file name/path, so we can load it from same folder as the schema and referenced files in same folder are found.
This function requires a native path. Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required. If you like to have the user choose the path, you can use FileDialog functions.
For Server be aware that server has limited permissions and may not be able to access all files on a computer.
Examples
Validate a file in a folder:
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "Process.SetCurrentDirectory"; "/Users/cs/Documents/todo/XML Validate/") ]
Set Variable [ $result ; Value: MBS("XML.ValidateFile"; "test.xml"; XML Validation::Schema) ]
Set Field [ XML Validation::Result ; $result ]
Validate all in one folder:
# set folder
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "Process.SetCurrentDirectory"; "/Users/cs/Desktop/XML Validate") ]
#
# validate file
Set Field [ XML Validation::Result ; MBS("XML.ValidateFile"; "test.xml"; "generalInvoiceRequest_450.xsd") ]
#
# folder contains xmldsig-core-schema.xsd, xenc-schema.xsd, generalInvoiceRequest_450.xsd and test.xml
