Class SchematronProcessor

SchematronProcessor is the centerpiece of Schematron4Net: it is used to load Schematron rules and to validate XML documents against these rules.

Syntax

public class SchematronProcessor : IDisposable

Methods

Dispose()

Performs tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting resources.

Declaration

public void Dispose()

LoadFile(String)

Creates a SchematronProcessor that is based on Schematron rules from a file.

Declaration

public static SchematronProcessor LoadFile(string schematronFilepath)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	schematronFilepath	File path for the file containing the primary Schematron. Includes will be resolved relative to this path.

Returns

Type	Description
SchematronProcessor	An instance of SchematronProcessor that is ready to perform a validation.

Remarks

Using either a zip file or a zip stream are the preferred ways to handle non-self-contained Schematrons (i.e. using includes or doc() references).

LoadZipFile(String, String)

Creates a SchematronProcessor that is based on Schematron rules from a zip archive that is stored as a file.

Declaration

public static SchematronProcessor LoadZipFile(string zipFilepath, string schematronPath)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	zipFilepath	File path for the file containing a zip archive with the Schematron rules.
System.String	schematronPath	Path to the primary Schematron (relative to the root of the zip archive).

Returns

Type	Description
SchematronProcessor	An instance of SchematronProcessor that is ready to perform a validation.

Remarks

Using either a zip file or a zip stream are the preferred ways to handle non-self-contained Schematrons (i.e. that are using includes or doc() references). This method will fail when running under older Mono versions due to a bug in Mono's implementation of System.IO.Compression, in this case use LoadZipFileMono(String, String) instead.

LoadZipFileMono(String, String)

Creates a SchematronProcessor that is based on Schematron rules from a zip archive that is stored as a file - special implementation for older Mono versions.

Declaration

public static SchematronProcessor LoadZipFileMono(string zipFilepath, string schematronPath)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	zipFilepath	File path for the file containing a zip archive with the Schematron rules.
System.String	schematronPath	Path to the primary Schematron (relative to the root of the zip archive).

Returns

Type	Description
SchematronProcessor	An instance of SchematronProcessor that is ready to perform a validation.

Remarks

Using either a zip file or a zip stream are the preferred ways to handle non-self-contained Schematrons (i.e. that are using includes or doc() references). This method is slower than the method LoadZipFile(String, String), so use it only when you are planning to run with older Mono versions.

LoadZipStream(Stream, String)

Creates a SchematronProcessor that is based on Schematron rules from a zip stream.

Declaration

public static SchematronProcessor LoadZipStream(Stream zipStream, string schematronPath)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.IO.Stream	zipStream	Stream for reading the zip archive. This can be a read-only stream.
System.String	schematronPath	Path to the primary Schematron (relative to the root of the zip archive).

Returns

Type	Description
SchematronProcessor	An instance of SchematronProcessor that is ready to perform a validation.

Remarks

Using either a zip file or a zip stream are the preferred ways to handle non-self-contained Schematrons (i.e. that are using includes or doc() references). You can embed a Schematron package in the calling program and provide a ZIP stream via GetManifestResourceStream() to this method. This method will fail when running under older Mono versions due to a bug in Mono's implementation of System.IO.Compression, in this case use LoadZipStreamMono(Stream, String) instead.

LoadZipStreamMono(Stream, String)

Creates a SchematronProcessor that is based on Schematron rules from a zip stream - special implementation for older Mono versions.

Declaration

public static SchematronProcessor LoadZipStreamMono(Stream zipStream, string schematronPath)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.IO.Stream	zipStream	Stream for reading the zip archive. This can be a read-only stream.
System.String	schematronPath	Path to the primary Schematron (relative to the root of the zip archive).

Returns

Type	Description
SchematronProcessor	An instance of SchematronProcessor that is ready to perform a validation.

Remarks

Using either a zip file or a zip stream are the preferred ways to handle non-self-contained Schematrons (i.e. that are using includes or doc() references). You can embed a Schematron package in the calling program and provide a ZIP stream via GetManifestResourceStream() to this method. This method is slower than the method LoadZipStream(Stream, String), so use it only when you are planning to run with older Mono versions.

Validate(XDocument, ValidationOptions)

Validates a XML document against previously loaded Schematron rules and returns a validation result (but no validation report).

Declaration

public ValidationResult Validate(XDocument xmlDocument, ValidationOptions validationOptions = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Xml.Linq.XDocument	xmlDocument	The XML document that is to be validated.
ValidationOptions	validationOptions	Options to control the validation process. If not specified, default validation options will be used.

Returns

Type	Description
ValidationResult	The result of this validation.

ValidationOptions

Validate(XDocument, out XDocument, ValidationOptions)

Validates a XML document against previously loaded Schematron rules and returns a validation result as well as a validation report (SVRL).

Declaration

public ValidationResult Validate(XDocument xmlDocument, out XDocument validationReport, ValidationOptions validationOptions = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Xml.Linq.XDocument	xmlDocument	The XML document that is to be validated.
System.Xml.Linq.XDocument	validationReport	The validation report.
ValidationOptions	validationOptions	Options to control the validation process. If not specified, default validation options will be used.

Returns

Type	Description
ValidationResult	The result of this validation.
