java.lang.Object
uk.blankaspect.common.jsonxml.JsonXmlValidator
public class JsonXmlValidator extends Object
This class provides some static methods for validating a tree of JSON-XML elements against an XML Schema (XSD).
  • A method that validates a JSON-XML tree against one of two predefined schemas according to a flag that is an argument of the method. One schema has a target namespace; the other does not have a target namespace.
  • A method that validates a JSON-XML tree against a schema that is created from a resource at a specified location.
  • A method that validates a JSON-XML tree against a schema that is created from a file at a specified file-system location.

      public static void validate(Element element, boolean hasTargetNamespace) throws BaseException
      Validates a tree of JSON-XML elements whose root is the specified element against one of two predefined XML Schemas (XSD) according to the specified flag. One schema has a target namespace; the other does not have a target namespace.
      Parameters:
      element - the root of the tree of JSON-XML elements that will be validated against one of two predefined schemas according to hasTargetNamespace.
      hasTargetNamespace - if true, the JSON-XML tree will be validated against a schema that has a target namespace; if false, the JSON-XML tree will be validated against a schema that does not have a target namespace.
      Throws:
      BaseException - if an error occurs when validating the tree of JSON-XML elements.

    • validate

      public static void validate(Class<?> cls, String xsdPathname, Element element) throws BaseException
      Validates a tree of JSON-XML elements whose root is the specified element against an XML Schema (XSD) that is created from a resource at the specified location.
      Parameters:
      cls - the class with which the schema-file resource is associated. If it is null, the system class loader will be used to find the resource.
      xsdPathname - the pathname of the schema-file resource.
      element - the root of the tree of JSON-XML elements that will be validated.
      Throws:
      BaseException - if an error occurs when
      • loading the schema-file resource,
      • creating an XML Schema from the resource, or
      • validating the tree of JSON-XML elements.

    • validate

      public static void validate(Path xsdFile, Element element) throws BaseException
      Validates a tree of JSON-XML elements whose root is the specified element against an XML Schema (XSD) that is created from a file at the specified file-system location.
      Parameters:
      xsdFile - the file-system location of the schema file.
      element - the root of the tree of JSON-XML elements that will be validated.
      Throws:
      BaseException - if an error occurs when
      • reading the schema file,
      • creating an XML Schema from the contents of the file, or
      • validating the tree of JSON-XML elements.
