The new menu of the TortoiseXML functionality (accessible from the Windows File Explorer) of XML ValidatorBuddy will look like this:

It is a new approach to set the focus on the tasks people want to do with XML and not on having support for various XML parsers.
  • Putting the Xerces parser to the front together with a statement about large file support provided by the SAX interface.
  • Other validation engines (AltovaXML, XSV) are now accessible through the “Other..” menu.
  • A brand new command “Validate against Schema…” which allows to validate also XML instance files without any schema already assigned. This command also allows to override any SchemaLocation and NoNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes present in the XML.
XML ValidatorBuddy 2.6 will be available within the next couple of days.

Xerces-C 3.0 released

spiff Parser Add your comment

A long awaited update to Xerces-C has been released a few days ago. It contains bug fixes and also some new features. I don’t know what other people did expect from this update but I was pleased to see that support for XPath seems to be finally available now.

The new DOMXPathEvaluator interface is accessible from every DOMDocument object and allows to evaluate an XPath expression. On browsing through the documentation I only see XPath 1.0 mentioned but I read in an announcement that XPath 2.0 should also be supported. However, I’m sure I will need the XPath functionality in the near future for some XML ValidatorBuddy functionality so I will then have the chance to try it.
