[lxml-dev] schema validation support

[Santoro, Peter]

I have used xerces/java, in the past, to do xml work without schema
validation.  As I now prefer to use python, I'm considering using lxml
to validate xml instance documents against associated schemas.  So far,
I'm impressed with my initial testing.  Thank you for making this
software available!

 

I'm curious if anyone has compared/benchmarked lxml/libxml2 schema
validation support with what's available in Apache's xerces project?
What, if any, limitations to the xlml/libxml2 schema validation support
have others hit that I should be aware of?  What, if any, limitations to
the xerces schema validation support have others hit that I should be
aware of?

 

I'm asking these questions, because I recently noticed on the underlying
libxml2 library's web site states that the xml schema support is
incomplete (http://xmlsoft.org/index.html) and that it is being finished
up (http://xmlsoft.org/news.html).  To be fair, it appears that there
are limitations with xerces schema validation support
(http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/schema.html), too.

 

Thank you,

 

Peter
