Changes

This [[Module Library|XQuery Module]] contains functions to perform validations against DTDs, XML Schema and (since {{Version|8.3}}) RelaxNG. For The documentation further describes how to use Schematron validation, check out Vincent Lizzi’s [https://github.com/vincentml/schematron-basex Schematron XQuery Module]with BaseX.

All functions and errors in this module are assigned to the <code><nowiki>http://basex.org/modules/validate</nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|validate}} prefix.<br/>All errors are assigned to the <code><nowiki>http://basex.org/errors</nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|bxerr}} prefix.

{{Mark|Updated with Version 89.32:}}:Version argument was dropped (the latest version will always be used).

Different XML Schema implementations can be applied for validationprocessors are supported:

* By default, the '''Java implementation ''' of XML Schema 1.0 is used (it is based on an old version of Apache Xerces).* If [https://xercesThe latest version of '''Xerces2''' provides implementations of XML Schema 1.0 and 1.apache1.org/xerces2-j Xerces2] exists in the classpath, it The processor will be used instead. If you want to manually add Xerces2, applied if you should download one of the [http://xerces.apache.org/mirrors.cgi#binary Xerces2 Java ..... (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)binary distributions] archive and copy at least four the following libraries (to the {{Code|cupv10k-runtime.jarlib/custom}}, directory of the full distribution of BaseX:** {{Code|org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor_1.12.0.jar}}, ** {{Code|xercesImplcupv10k-runtime.jar}}, ** {{Code|xml-apisxercesImpl.jar}}) to the ** {{Code|libxml-apis.jar}} directory of the full distribution of BaseX.* The '''Saxon Enterprise Edition''' will be applied if you download the [httphttps://www.saxonica.com/ Saxondownload/java.xml ZIP release] Enterprise Edition (and if you copy {{Code|saxon9ee.jar}}) is detected as well. The XML Schema version can be specified as well. The supplied string must be {{Code|1.0}} or {{Code|1.1}}. Please note that version 1.1 is only available if Saxon EE or Xerces2 is added and a valid license key to the classpath.

RelaxNG validation will be available if [http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/jing.html Jing] exists in the classpath. The latest version, {{Code|jing-20091111.jar}}, is included in the full distributions of BaseX. As Jing additionally supports [http://www.nvdl.org/ NVDL] validation, you can also use the functions to validate the input against NVDL schemas.
