Re: Validating XML against schema (XSD) possible with TCL?

I only need to read an XML file and validate it (+ use the data of
course) so SAX style implementation is enough.
Can anyone help?

Do you really want/need to validate it - or just to process it?

The Web Services for Tcl package allows you to take an XSD and an XML message and transforms it to a dictionary that you can process.

It does not validate that the XML meets the XSD -- it just pulls out the parts that meet the elements and makes a dictionary. I.e. no range checks and no error if additional elements are present or required elements are missing.

Are you actually attempting to make a Web Service call with a WDSL or what?
