Validation Module

This XQuery Module contains functions to perform validations against XML Schema and Document Type Declarations. This module has been introduced with Version 7.2.2.

All functions are preceded by the validate: prefix, which is linked to the statically declared http://basex.org/modules/validate namespace.
