You create a custom XML conversion definition by selecting an input file and then using the Custom XML Conversion Definition Editor, shown in Figure 145, to specify the properties you want to use to convert that file (or others that share the same format). The Custom XML Conversion Definition Editor displays information read from the input file, as well a number of other properties you can specify (such as whether or not you want element names based on the file's first row, for example) that are used when the file is converted from one format to another. |
Writing Custom XML Adapters
There are cases where the input format is too complicated for Convert to XML, or both reading and writing of the file format is needed. This section will take you through the process of writing a medium-sized adapter in Java.
Validate XML Using XSD
You can validate XML documents against any data model defined using W3C XSD, using any major XSD Validator, including MSXML 3.0, MSXML 4.0, MSXML 6.0, Xerces-J, Xerces-C, Microsoft System.XML (1.0 and 2.0), XSV, the Saxonica XSD Validator and others.
