Execution Logic


Prev		Next

Once test cases have been defined, the validation suite can be used with any RELAX NG or XSD schema. The primary validation process is managed through XQuery functions, which allow users to address the following:

Example 4. Map schemas to their corresponding test cases

declare variable $sch:schemas as map(*) := map { 
  "bloomsbury-mods": map { 
    "schema": "..\..\content-models\DocBook\schema\bloomsbury-mods.rnc", 
    "test-cases": "bloomsbury-mods-tests" 
  }, 
  "vra-strict-bloomsbury": map { 
    "schema": "..\..\content-models\VRA\schema\vra-strict-bloomsbury.xsd", 
    "test-cases": "vra-strict-bloomsbury-tests" 
  },  
  "bmyTEI-tests": map { 
    "schema": "..\..\content-models\TEI\schema\bmyTEI.rnc", 
    "test-cases": "bmyTEI-tests" 
  } 
};

Example 5. Target a specific schema during the test suite validation process

declare function sch:options($userInput) { 
  let $schema := $sch:schemas($userInput) 
  return 
  $schema 
};

Additionally, BaseX’s built-in XQuery validation functions are used to assess whether XML documents conform to their corresponding schemas.

Function: validate:xsd-report()

Signature:

validate:xsd-report( 
              $input    as item(), 
              $schema   as xs:string?  := (), 
              $options  as map(*)      := {} 
            ) as element(report)

Summary:

Validates the XML $input document against a $schema and returns warnings, errors and fatal errors as XML.

Function: validate:rng-report()

Signature:

validate:rng-report( 
               $input    as item(), 
               $schema   as xs:string, 
               $compact  as xs:boolean?  := {} 
             ) as element(report)

Summary:

Validates the XML $input document against a $schema, using the XML or $compact notation, and returns warnings, errors and fatal errors as XML.
