XML and XSD

[IHateMyJob2004]

How do I know a given XML file is valid based on the rules defined in an XSD file?

 

[MrChad]

Run it through an XML validator. Most XML parser engines will perform XSD validation. An IDE such as XMLSPY will validate it for you.

 

[Descartes]

You apply the schema to the XML file. How you do that is different depending on what language, parser, etc. you are using.

Oh, and there is a software forum. Just Google for your specific platform and you'll find probably thousands of examples.

AWESOME! Thanks for the tips.

Also, in the future, should this be in the software forum?

Unless you are coding XML with a hammer and chisel to a stone, then yes...
