Recommended validating XML parser?

We're looking for a current, supported, validating XML parser. Since it
seems like there are a few thousand out there, I though we'd see what
everyone else is using.

Bonus points if it can do something like:
>>foo = XMLParser("""
<xml>
<weight>3000</weight>
</xml>
""", dtd=file('/etc/weightfile.dtd' ))
>>print foo.weight
3000

....or some variant on that theme.

You are asking for lxml, right?

http://codespeak.net/lxml/

Bonus points if it can do something like:
>>foo = XMLParser("""
<xml>
<weight>3000</weight>
</xml>
""", dtd=file('/etc/weightfile.dtd' ))
>>print foo.weight
3000

Not currently supported, only document internal DTD references are used. But
you can always validate the document *after* parsing, be it with DTD,
XMLSchema or RNG.

BTW, adding this would be straight forward. The implementation is there, it's
just not available at the API level (and I'm not sure enough how it should
look like...)

Can anyone help me out. I have a set of xml documents and a dtd which is not refered to in the xml documents themselves. I've written the code to check that the xml is well formatted using org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser and i've created my own entityResolver(). When i try and assign the DTD to the parser using the entityResolver the parser does not throw any error indicating that the xml is invalid.

Hi, does anyone know of a validating SGML parser in python (like xmlproc.xmlval does for XML)? Goal is to validation HTML against the DTD, similar to validator.w3.org, not all SGML obscurities are required. If real SGML validation is no option, I could probably rewrite the HTML to make it XML conformant and feed it into xmlval - but then I'll have to find a way to map line/column numbers from error messages to positions in the...

Im trying to validate an xml file using the xercesDomParser, but it seems like it doesnt validate the xml file.

hello everybody, does anybody know of standardization efforts concerning the output of w3cSchema/relaxNG-validating parsers ? I use libxml2 for validation-purposes (w3c-Schema and relaxNG) and have the impression that (a) the output in case the xml-document is not valid, is not very verbose (b) the structure of the returned message (in case of the xml-document

Hi, I am using Xerces 2.8. When I try to validate a file which is in the same folder as the xsd, it works fine. But if I try to validate an XML file which is in some other folder, it gives me a whole load of "unknown element" errors for every element in my XML file. This is the code that I am using: XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
