XML::LibXML::Schema(3)               User Contributed Perl Documentation              XML::LibXML::Schema(3)



NAME
       XML::LibXML::Schema - XML Schema Validation

SYNOPSIS
         $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( location => $filename_or_url );
         $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( string => $xmlschemastring );
         eval { $xmlschema->validate( $doc ); };

DESCRIPTION
       The XML::LibXML::Schema class is a tiny frontend to libxml2's XML Schema implementation. Currently it
       supports only schema parsing and document validation.

       new
             $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( location => $filename_or_url );
             $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( string => $xmlschemastring );

           The constructor of XML::LibXML::Schema may get called with either one of two parameters. The
           parameter tells the class from which source it should generate a validation schema. It is
           important, that each schema only have a single source.

           The location parameter allows to parse a schema from the filesystem or a URL.

           The string parameter will parse the schema from the given XML string.

           Note that the constructor will die() if the schema does not meed the constraints of the XML
           Schema specification.

       validate
             eval { $xmlschema->validate( $doc ); };

           This function allows to validate a document against the given XML Schema. If this function
           succeeds, it will return 0, otherwise it will die() and report the errors found. Because of this
           validate() should be always evaluated.
