xsd-schema-validator

xsd-schema-validator

A (XSD) schema validator for NodeJS that uses Java to perform the actual validation. Why?

Prerequisites

Under the hood, this utility uses Java to do the actual validation.

It assumes that javac and java are on the path. If a JAVA_HOME environment variable exists it uses that to locate an installed JDK.

On some platforms, i.e. Mac OSX you need to define JAVA_HOME manually.

Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install --save xsd-schema-validator

Usage

Use in your application:

var validator = require('xsd-schema-validator');

var xmlStr = '<foo:bar />';

try {
  const result = await validator.validateXML(xmlStr, 'resources/foo.xsd');

  result.valid; // true
} catch (err) {
  console.error('validation error', err);
}

You may validate readable streams:

var xmlStream = fs.createReadableStream('some.xml');

const result = await validator.validateXML(xmlStream);

You may validate files, too:

const result = validator.validateXML({ file: 'some.xml' }, ...);

Why

Because Java can do schema validation and NodeJS cannot.
