RELAX NG (OMRELAXNG)

RELAX NG is a schema language for XML, an alternative to using DTDs. It is designed to be simple and easy to learn, and has both an XML syntax and a non-XML syntax. It supports datatyping and XML namespaces, and it integrates attributes into content models. It is specified by ISO/IEC 19757-2:2003.

Use the OMRELAXNG library when you want to validate input against a RELAX NG schema.

Example

This program validates input against a RELAX NG schema, reports validation errors and keeps going:

 import "omrelaxng.xmd" prefixed by relaxng.
 
 define markup sink function
 report-errors (value string sink s)
 as
 using output as s
 do markup-parse #current-input
 output "%c"
 done
 
 process
 local relaxng.relaxng-schema-type example-schema
 
 set example-schema to relaxng.compile-schema file "example-schema.rng"
 
 do xml-parse scan file "example-input.xml"
 using output as relaxng.validator against example-schema report-errors-to report-errors (#error)
 output #content
 done

Usage Note

To use OMRELAXNG, you must import it into your program using an import declaration such as:

 import "omrelaxng.xmd" prefixed by relaxng.
