QXmlSchemaValidator::QXmlSchemaValidator ()

Constructs a schema validator. The schema used for validation must be referenced in the XML instance document via the xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute.

QXmlSchemaValidator::QXmlSchemaValidator ( const QXmlSchema & schema )

Constructs a schema validator that will use schema for validation. If an empty QXmlSchema schema is passed to the validator, the schema used for validation must be referenced in the XML instance document via the xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute.

QXmlSchemaValidator::~QXmlSchemaValidator ()

Destroys this QXmlSchemaValidator.

QAbstractMessageHandler * QXmlSchemaValidator::messageHandler () const

Returns the message handler that handles parsing and validation messages for this QXmlSchemaValidator.

See also setMessageHandler().

QXmlNamePool QXmlSchemaValidator::namePool () const

Returns the name pool used by this QXmlSchemaValidator for constructing names. There is no setter for the name pool, because mixing name pools causes errors due to name confusion.

QNetworkAccessManager * QXmlSchemaValidator::networkAccessManager () const

Returns the network manager, or 0 if it has not been set.

See also setNetworkAccessManager().

QXmlSchema QXmlSchemaValidator::schema () const

Returns the schema that is used for validation.

See also setSchema().

void QXmlSchemaValidator::setMessageHandler ( QAbstractMessageHandler * handler )

Changes the message handler for this QXmlSchemaValidator to handler. The schema validator sends all parsing and validation messages to this message handler. QXmlSchemaValidator does not take ownership of handler.

Normally, the default message handler is sufficient. It writes compile and validation messages to stderr. The default message handler includes color codes if stderr can render colors.

When QXmlSchemaValidator calls QAbstractMessageHandler::message(), the arguments are as follows:

message() argument	Semantics
QtMsgType type	Only QtWarningMsg and QtFatalMsg are used. The former identifies a warning, while the latter identifies an error.
const QString & description	An XHTML document which is the actual message. It is translated into the current language.
const QUrl &identifier	Identifies the error with a URI, where the fragment is the error code, and the rest of the URI is the error namespace.
const QSourceLocation & sourceLocation	Identifies where the error occurred.

See also messageHandler().

void QXmlSchemaValidator::setNetworkAccessManager ( QNetworkAccessManager * manager )

Sets the network manager to manager. QXmlSchemaValidator does not take ownership of manager.

See also networkAccessManager().

void QXmlSchemaValidator::setSchema ( const QXmlSchema & schema )

Sets the schema that shall be used for further validation. If the schema is empty, the schema used for validation must be referenced in the XML instance document via the xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute.

See also schema().

void QXmlSchemaValidator::setUriResolver ( const QAbstractUriResolver * resolver )

Sets the URI resolver to resolver. QXmlSchemaValidator does not take ownership of resolver.

See also uriResolver().

const QAbstractUriResolver * QXmlSchemaValidator::uriResolver () const

Returns the schema's URI resolver. If no URI resolver has been set, QtXmlPatterns will use the URIs in instance documents as they are.

The URI resolver provides a level of abstraction, or polymorphic URIs. A resolver can rewrite logical URIs to physical ones, or it can translate obsolete or invalid URIs to valid ones.

When QtXmlPatterns calls QAbstractUriResolver::resolve() the absolute URI is the URI mandated by the schema specification, and the relative URI is the URI specified by the user.

See also setUriResolver().

bool QXmlSchemaValidator::validate ( const QUrl & source ) const

Validates the XML instance document read from source against the schema.

Returns true if the XML instance document is valid according to the schema, false otherwise.

Example:

     const QXmlSchema schema = getSchema();

     const QUrl url("http://www.schema-example.org/test.xml");

     QXmlSchemaValidator validator(schema);
     if (validator.validate(url))
         qDebug() << "instance document is valid";
     else
         qDebug() << "instance document is invalid";

bool QXmlSchemaValidator::validate ( QIODevice * source, const QUrl & documentUri = QUrl() ) const

Validates the XML instance document read from source with the given documentUri against the schema.

Returns true if the XML instance document is valid according to the schema, false otherwise.

Example:

     const QXmlSchema schema = getSchema();

     QFile file("test.xml");
     file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);

     QXmlSchemaValidator validator(schema);
     if (validator.validate(&file, QUrl::fromLocalFile(file.fileName())))
         qDebug() << "instance document is valid";
     else
         qDebug() << "instance document is invalid";

bool QXmlSchemaValidator::validate ( const QByteArray & data, const QUrl & documentUri = QUrl() ) const

Validates the XML instance document read from data with the given documentUri against the schema.

Returns true if the XML instance document is valid according to the schema, false otherwise.

Example:

     const QXmlSchema schema = getSchema();

     QByteArray data("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
                     "<test></test>");

     QBuffer buffer(&data);
     buffer.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);

     QXmlSchemaValidator validator(schema);
     if (validator.validate(&buffer))
         qDebug() << "instance document is valid";
     else
         qDebug() << "instance document is invalid";
