Well...
I think "title" saying the story of the whole thing...

I know some languages using the XSD for creating some auto-complete code, generating paths and auto-matching some variables or database fields with elements of it...

Is there a way to create/move easily "xml" using an xsd... with a simple example, using b4x...

I am already "creating" xml files but for now i direct writting as text file... It will be nice if using XSD to create and read easier XML files..

I ve started this thread, to understand, the flow you are using at your projects and the "reason for using that flow" - already selected by you.

Is there a Java API to parse an XSD schema file? I found XSOM, but it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.

Thanks for your feed... but I really wanna know the flow/way of use in B4X (no problem if it is inline java)... with a small example... to understand it better... with a use of a simple XSD...

I know that an XSD limits creation helps in validation... but i wanna see it.. in real... is it real so helpful... or i ll just lose my time using it...

An XML Schema Definition (XSD) is a framework document that defines rules and constraints for XML documents. An XSD formally describes the elements of an XML document and can be used to validate the content of the XML document to ensure that it conforms to the rules of the XSD.

Let say I have a B4X class that has a function to generate an XML file according to the format defined by the XSD, how do I create another function to validate the generated XML?
How does the function show the error message?
Is it like having some sort of build in API or automatically output the corresponding error message in a stack object or similar?

Edit:
It appeared that I also have bookmarked this:
Unfortunately I haven't find time to fully experiment with my own file.

Validate XML using a XSD / Json using Schema?

Hello Is it in any way possible to validate data (XML or JSON) via a so-called Schema? I tried the search function for a lot of different search terms, but got no real results, so my hopes aren't very high! If someone knows a way how to do this, I'm very open to any insights or ti

I don't have any validation in B4X, only on the web service servers.

But it shouldn't be difficult to do a local validation in B4X that generates the XML, if you know the XSD template format.
