To check the syntax validation for XML files, we can use below piece of code.Implement an error handler to handle the syntax errors.
This does not do any schema validation.
//DOM model
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder xmlBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
xmlBuilder.setErrorHandler(new SimpleErrorHandler());
xmlBuilder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(myXMLString.getBytes(IOUtil.UTF_8)));
//Handler
public class SimpleErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler
{
public void warning(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
//create problem marker
}
public void error(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
//create problem marker
}
public void fatalError(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
//create problem marker
}
}
