XML Schema Processing

Saxon can be used as a free-standing schema processor in its own right, either from the command line or from a Java application. In addition, Saxon can be used as a schema-aware XSLT processor or as a schema-aware XQuery processor.

This section covers the following topics:

• Running Validation from the Command Line

• Importing and Exporting Schema Component Models

• Controlling Validation from Java

• Parameterizing Schemas

• Running Validation from Ant

• Schema-Aware XSLT from the Command Line

• Schema-Aware XSLT from Java

• Schema-Aware XQuery from the Command Line

• Schema-Aware XQuery from Java

• XML Schema 1.1

• Handling minOccurs and maxOccurs

• Saxon extensions to XML Schema 1.1

Saxon-EE supports the schema validation APIs in JAXP 1.3, as well as its own native APIs.
