In this tutorial, we will guide you how to validate xml xsd. With xml validator, xsd files can be easily validated. Furthermore, you can check for errors that might occur during the valication process.
Step 1 – Open terminal
So let us get started with our “how to validate xml xsd” tutorial. First of all, click on the dash and open up the terminal application.
Step 2 – View contents of home directory
With that done, type the command “ls” and hit the enter key. This will show you the contents of the Home directory. Over here you can see the test.xml file being displayed over here.
Step 3 – Validation command
Now type:
xmllint –schema schema.xsd test.xml. Hit the enter key when you are done.
Step 4 – Validation successful
With that done you will see that your xml file has been validated without any errors.
Step 5 – Open xml in text editor
Now let’s go to the home directory and right click on the xml file. Over here, let’s open it with the Text Editor.
Step 6 – Make changes to the xml file
Now let’s make some changes in the xml file over there. For example, you can add a single quote over there and then save the changes made.
Step 7 – Check error
Now let’s type the same command and use the same file which we edited earlier in the text editor.
You will notice that an error has occurred due to the changes that we made earlier. In this manner, you can use the xml validator for xsd files.
