See how to validate one or multiple XML files directly from Windows File Explorer in this Flash animation. No need to setup a separate parser for this.

The page shows how to validate a large number of XML instances (or even schemas) in 3 steps using the "XML ValidatorBuddy" tool. You can start trying this immediately after running just a single installer.

This tutorial gives a ground up overview outlining the building blocks of XML Schemas (XSD), showing how to design any build your first schema.

This book describes some ideas of how to use XML technologies to help publishing your books on your own Websites. Those ideas are implemented into a publishing tool called hyPub, which is also presented in this book.

This tutorial helps you to learn: How to perform XSD validation with XMLReader Java class; How to use SAXParserFactory to load parsers; Sample Java source codes are also provided.

This tutorial describes: * Simple XML Elements with Pre-defined Data Types * Simple XML Elements with Extended Data Types * Complex XML Elements * Simple Content XML Elements * Empty XML Elements * Anomymous Data Types * Sample XSD File - dictionary.xsd

This class provides an introduction to Altova’s award-winning XML development environment, XMLSpy. This class includes an overview of XMLSpy’s user interface, feature walkthroughs relating to XML, XML Schema, XSLT, and XPath, hands-on examples, and more. While not a course in XML per se, those comfortable with the basics of XML technologies will gain a clearer understanding of how XMLSpy can aid and expedite their XML development projects.

In this XML primer, learn how to automate common XML editing operations, and how to troubleshoot XML documents in this 7 minute, online video tutorial.

Click, Watch, and Learn with Stylus Studio - Stylus Studio provides high-quality video demonstrations of its most powerful and time-saving features. Several of the most popular titles are listed here, but visit the Stylus Studio box office as new titles are being added all the time! The Stylus Studio XML Video demonstrations include informative tutorials on how to use XML, XSLT, XML Schema, XQuery, EDI, Web Services, Data Integration and many other topics relevant to XML developers.

[announce] Dear XML Schema Dev, A new XML tutorial by Dr. Kay entitled: "Buiding XML Workflow Applications" has been published at: http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/workflow.html The article argues that the bulk of the application logic required for typical XML workflow applications can be modeled using XML schema, then implemented in high-level XML processing languages, notably XSLT and XQuery, with individual components linked together in a pipeline processing framework. By writing the logic in these high-level languages (rather than say Java or C#), the biggest benefit you gain is flexibility and adaptability - the ability to change the application in response to changing business needs. XML gives you this flexibility in terms of data design; don't lose it by writing applications that freeze the data structure into Java or C# classes. Building XML Workflow Applications covers the following topics: • Modeling XML Workflow Applications • Choosing a Centralized or Decentralized Architecture • The Life-Cycle of a Document • Finding Resources using Directory Services Markup Language • Writing XML Workflow Applications Read the article online at: http://www.stylusstudio.com/xml/workflow.html

Stylus Studio uses adapters to convert an incoming stream of data from a native format to an outgoing stream of XML, or vice-versa. You can create your own adapters, using the Convert to XML module, or you can use one of the many built-in adapters bundled with Stylus Studio. Converting Non-XML files to XML covers the following topics:

Overview of Convert to XML, Choosing an Input File, The Convert to XML Editor, Parts of an Input File, Working with Regions, Working with Fields, Controlling XML Output, Creating an Adapter, Using Adapters in Stylus Studio, More About Converting EDI, Invoking an Adapter Programmatically, User-Defined Adapter Properties Reference

Stylus Studio makes it easy to edit and query XML documents. Depending on the structure of the data in your XML document, you can choose to work with raw XML text, a DOM tree diagram, or a grid representation. Any changes you make in one view are immediately visible in every other view. At any time, you can view the schema that is associated with your XML document. Editing and Querying XML covers the following topics:

Creating XML Documents, Converting Text Files to XML Documents, Converting HTML to XML Documents, Updating XML Documents, Using the Text Editor, Updating DOM Tree Structures, Using the Grid Tab, Diffing Folders and XML Documents, Using Schemas with XML Documents, Querying XML Documents Using XPath, Moving Around in XML Documents, Printing XML Documents, and Saving XML Documents,

Stylus Studio 2006 is an integrated development environment (IDE) for XML and related technologies. Stylus Studio allows you to design, develop, and test XML applications using its intuitive graphical interface, textual editors, and debuggers for XML, XML Schema, DTD, XQuery, XSLT, Web services, and Java. This XML development primer covers:

* Stylus Studio Editions * Starting Stylus Studio * Updating an XML Document-Getting Started * Working with Stylesheets - Getting Started * Stylesheets That Generate HTML - Getting Started * Using the XSLT Mapper - Getting Started * Debugging Stylesheets - Getting Started * Defining a DTD - Getting Started * Defining an XML Schema Using the Diagram Tab - Getting Started * Opening Files in Stylus Studio * Working with Projects * Customizing Tool Bars * Specifying Stylus Studio Options * Defining Keyboard Shortcuts * Using Stylus Studio from the Command Line * Managing Stylus Studio Performance * Configuring Java Components

Processing XML in your Java applications using JAXP is easy if you are dealing with XML documents - but what happens if your data is not all XML (for example, flat files, relational, EDI, and other legacy data formats). This tutorial on XML adapters covers accessing data stored in CSV files as XML, a common task in legacy data integration scenarios.

One of the main reasons for XML's rise to prominence as the lingua franca for information interchange is that, unlike prior data interchange formats, XML can easily represent both rigidly structured tabular data (e.g., relational data or serialized objects) and semi-structured data (e.g., office documents). The former tends to be strongly typed and is typically processed using object?XML mapping technologies, while the latter tends to be untyped and is usually processed using XML technologies like DOM, SAX, and XSLT. However in both cases, there is a disconnect for developers processing XML using traditional object-oriented programming languages.

In Part 1 of this "XML Tourist" feature, I discussed some basic ingredients of a Geographic Information System (GIS) and introduced you to an XML-based, web-delivered application for representing GIS data: the Geography Markup Language, or GML. This month, we'll delve deeper into GML itself--starting with a brief further look into what distinguishes a true GIS from other tools for rendering two- or three-dimensional spaces on a computer monitor.

Jean Paoli, senior director of XML architecture at Microsoft and one of the co-creators of the XML 1.0 standard, is a big fish in the extensible markup language pond. Along with other inhabitants like Tim Bray, Jon Bosak and Sharon Adler, Paoli was there at the beginning when precursor SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) evolved into XML. Last month, Paoli was recognized by his peers at the annual XML Conference and Exposition with the XML Cup, recognizing a lifetime of achievement. In this edited interview, Paoli reflects on the honor, the evolution of XML, what Microsoft is doing with XML and what enterprises need to know for the immediate future.

Two previous articles, "Mastering Internet Programming on Mobile Devices: First Steps" and "Mastering Internet Programming on Mobile Devices: An Asynchronous Data Exchange," covered various WinInet-based communications. WinInet does a lot of black jobs for the application programmer, providing a relatively simple way of data transmission to remote hosts. A recent article discovers another aspect of Internet communications; this is the XML HTTP interface available under Pocket PC 2003 and later.

The XML Signature and XML Encryption standards are being used extensively as building-block technologies. Microsoft® Office InfoPath™ uses XML signatures to sign partial or whole forms. Web services use XML signatures to sign SOAP messages and XML encryption to encrypt them. The XML manifests for ClickOnce®-based applications, new in Visual Studio® 2005, also use XML signatures.
