This [[Module Library|XQuery Module]] contains functions to perform validations against [http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema DTDs, XML Schema] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Declaration Document Type Declarations]RelaxNG.This module has been introduced The documentation further describes how to use Schematron validation with {{Version|7.2.2}}BaseX.
All functions are preceded by the <code>validate:</code> prefix, which is linked to the statically declared <code>http://basex.org/modules/validate</code> namespace.=Conventions=
All functions and errors in this module are assigned to the <code><nowiki>http://basex.org/modules/validate</nowiki></code> namespace, which is statically bound to the {{Code|validate}} prefix.<br/> =FunctionsDTD Validation= Checks whether an XML document validates against a DTD. The input document can be specified as: * {{Code|xs:string}}, representing a URI (relative URIs will always be resolved against the static base URI of the query),* {{Code|xs:string}}, representing the resource in its string representation, or* {{Code|node()}}, representing the resource itself. If no DTD is supplied in a function, the XML document is expected to contain an embedded DTD doctype declaration. ==validate:dtd== {| width='100%'|- valign="top"| width='120' | '''Signature'''|<pre>validate:dtd( $input as item(), $schema as xs:string? := ()) as empty-sequence()</pre>|- valign="top"| '''Summary'''|Validates the XML {{Code|$input}} document against a {{Code|$schema}} and returns an empty sequence or an error.|- valign="top"| '''Errors'''|{{Error|error|#Errors}} the validation fails.<br/>{{Error|init|#Errors}} the validation process cannot be started.<br/>{{Error|not-found|#Errors}} no DTD validator is available.|- valign="top"| '''Examples'''|* {{Code|validate:dtd('doc.xml', 'doc.dtd')}} validates the document {{Code|doc.xml}} against the specified DTD file {{Code|doc.dtd}}.* The following example validates an invalid document against a DTD, which is specified as string:<pre lang='xquery'>try { let $doc := <invalid/> let $schema := '<!ELEMENT root (#PCDATA)>' return validate:dtd($doc, $schema)} catch validate:error { 'DTD Validation failed.'}</pre>|} ==validate:dtd-info== {| width='100%'|- valign="top"| width='120' | '''Signature'''|<pre>validate:dtd-info( $input as item(), $schema as xs:string? := ()) as xs:string*</pre>|- valign="top"| '''Summary'''|Validates the XML {{Code|$input}} document against a {{Code|$schema}} and returns warnings, errors and fatal errors in a string sequence.|- valign="top"| '''Errors'''|{{Error|init|#Errors}} the validation process cannot be started.<br/>{{Error|not-found|#Errors}} no DTD validator is available.|- valign="top"| '''Examples'''|* <code>validate:dtd-info(<invalid/>, '<!ELEMENT root (#PCDATA)>')</code> returns:<br/><code>2:11: Element type "invalid" must be declared.</code>.|} ==validate:dtd-report== {| width='100%'|- valign="top"| width='120' | '''Signature'''|<pre>validate:dtd-report( $input as item(), $schema as xs:string? := ()) as element(report)</pre>|- valign="top"| '''Summary'''|Validates the XML {{Code|$input}} document against a {{Code|$schema}} and returns warnings, errors and fatal errors as XML.|- valign="top"| '''Errors'''|{{Error|init|#Errors}} the validation process cannot be started.<br/>{{Error|not-found|#Errors}} no DTD validator is available.|- valign="top"| '''Examples'''|* <code>validate:dtd-report(<invalid/>, '<!ELEMENT root (#PCDATA)>')</code> returns:<pre lang="xml"><report> <status>invalid</status> <message level="Error" line="2" column="11">Element type "invalid" must be declared.</message></report></pre>|} =XML Schema Validation= Checks whether an XML document validates against an XML Schema.

If no schema is given, the input is expected to contain an {{Code|xsi:(noNamespace)schemaLocation}} attribute, as defined in [https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#xsi_schemaLocation W3C XML Schema]. Different XML Schema processors are supported: * By default, the '''Java implementation''' of XML Schema 1.0 is used (it is based on an old version of Apache Xerces).* The latest version of '''Xerces2''' provides implementations of XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1. The processor will be applied if you download one of the [https://xerces.apache.org/mirrors.cgi#binary binary distributions] and copy the following libraries to the {{Code|lib/custom}} directory of the full distribution of BaseX:** {{Code|org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor_1.2.0.jar}}** {{Code|cupv10k-runtime.jar}}** {{Code|xercesImpl.jar}}** {{Code|xml-apis.jar}}* '''Saxon Enterprise Edition''' will be used if you download the [https://www.saxonica.com/download/java.xml ZIP release] and if you copy {{Code|saxon9ee.jar}} and a valid license key to the classpath.

=RelaxNG Validation=
Checks whether an XML document validates against a RelaxNG schema. The input document and the schema can be specified as:
* {{Code|xs:string}}, containing the path to the resource,
* {{Code|xs:string}}, containing the resource in its string representation, or
* {{Code|node()}}, containing the resource itself.
RelaxNG validation will be available if [https://relaxng.org/jclark/jing.html Jing] exists in the classpath. The latest version, {{Code|jing-20091111.jar}}, is included in the full distributions of BaseX. As Jing additionally supports [http://www.nvdl.org/ NVDL] validation, you can also use the functions to validate the input against NVDL schemas.

==Examples=Schematron Validation=

The following query illustrates how documents are validated. It is directly taken from the GitHub project:
<pre lang='xquery'>
import module namespace schematron = "http://github.com/Schematron/schematron-basex";
let $sch := schematron:compile(doc('rules.sch'))
let $svrl := schematron:validate(doc('document.xml'), $sch)
return (
schematron:is-valid($svrl),
for $message in schematron:messages($svrl)
