Clean up loaded schemas in a schema context and recycle the schema context.
void XmlSchemaClean( xsdctx *sctx);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context to be cleaned |
Return a schema context to be used in other validator APIs. This needs to be paired with an XmlSchemaDestroy
.
xsdctx *XmlSchemaCreate( xmlctx *xctx, xmlerr *err, list);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
xctx |
IN |
XML context |
err |
OUT |
returned error code |
list |
IN |
NULL -terminated list of variable arguments
|
(xsdctx *)
schema context
Destroy a schema context and free up all its resources.
void XmlSchemaDestroy( xsdctx *sctx);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context to be freed |
Returns the location (line#, path) where an error occurred.
xmlerr XmlSchemaErrorWhere( xsdctx *sctx, ub4 *line, oratext **path);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context |
line |
IN/OUT |
line number where error occurred |
path |
IN/OUT |
URL or filespace where error occurred |
(xmlerr)
error code
Load up a schema document to be used in the next validation session. Schema documents can be incrementally loaded into a schema context as long as every loaded schema document is valid. When the last loaded schema turns out to be invalid, you need to clean up the schema context by calling XmlSchemaClea
n and reload everything all over again including the last schema with appropriate correction.
xmlerr XmlSchemaLoad( xsdctx *sctx, oratext *uri, list);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sxctx |
IN |
schema context |
uri |
IN |
URL of schema document; compiler encoding |
list |
IN |
NULL-terminated list of variable arguments |
(xmlerr)
numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0] on success
Return only the size of loaded schema documents if list
is NULL
. If list
is not NULL
, a list of URL pointers are returned in the user-provided pointer buffer. Note that its user's responsibility to provide a buffer with big enough size.
ub4 XmlSchemaLoadedList( xsdctx *sctx, oratext **list);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context |
list |
IN |
address of pointer buffer |
(ub4)
list size
Sets an error message handler and its associated context in a schema context. To retrieve useful location information on errors, the address of the schema context must be provided in the error handler context.
xmlerr XmlSchemaSetErrorHandler( xsdctx *sctx, XML_ERRMSG_F( (*errhdl), ectx, msg, err), void *errctx);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context |
errhdl |
IN |
error message handler |
errctx |
IN |
error handler context |
(xmlerr)
error code
See Also: XmlSchemaCreate, XmlSchemaErrorWhere, and XML_ERRMSG_F in Chapter 3, " Package Callback APIs for C" |
Set options to be used in the next validation session. Previously set options will remain effective until they are overwritten or reset.
xmlerr XmlSchemaSetValidateOptions( xsdctx *sctx, list);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context |
list |
IN |
NULL -terminated list of variable argument
|
(xmlerr)
numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0] on success
Return target namespace of a given schema document identified by its URI. All currently loaded schema documents can be queried. Currently loaded schema documents include the ones loaded through XmlSchemaLoad
s and the ones loaded through schemaLocation
or noNamespaceSchemaLocation
hints.
oratext *XmlSchemaTargetNamespace( xsdctx *sctx, oratext *uri);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
XML context |
uri |
IN |
URL of the schema document to be queried |
(oratext *)
target namespace string; NULL
if given document not
Unload a schema document from the validator. All previously loaded schema documents will remain loaded until they are unloaded. To unload all loaded schema documents, set URI to be NULL
(this is equivalent to XmlSchemaClean
). Note that all children schemas associated with the given schema are also unloaded. In this implementation, it only support the following scenarios:
load, load, ...
load, load, load, unload, unload, unload, clean, and then repeat.
It doesn't not support: load, load, unload, load, ....
xmlerr XmlSchemaUnload( xsdctx *sctx, oratext *uri, list);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context |
uri |
IN |
URL of the schema document; compiler encoding |
list |
IN |
NULL -terminated list of variable argument
|
(xmlerr)
numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0]
on success
Validates an element node against a schema. Schemas used in current session consists of all schema documents specified through XmlSchemaLoad
and provided as hint(s) through schemaLocation or noNamespaceSchemaLocation
in the instance document. After the invocation of this routine, all loaded schema documents remain loaded and can be queried by XmlSchemaLoadedList
. However, they will remain inactive. In the next validation session, inactive schema documents can be activated by specifying them through XmlSchemaLoad
or providing them as hint(s) through schemaLocation or noNamespaceSchemaLocation
in the new instance document. To unload a schema document and all its descendants (documents included or imported in a nested manner), use XmlSchemaUnload
.
xmlerr XmlSchemaValidate( xsdctx *sctx, xmlctx *xctx, xmlelemnode *elem);
Parameter | In/Out | Description |
---|---|---|
sctx |
IN |
schema context |
xctx |
IN |
XML top-level context |
elem |
IN |
element node in the doc, to be validated |
(xmlerr)
numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0]
on success
Return the version of this schema implementation.
oratext *XmlSchemaVersion();
(oratext *)
