Re: [MacPerl] XML Schema Parser?

[Arved_37@chebucto.ns.ca]

Since you mentioned XSV, is the fact that it is in Perl or anything else all 
that important? Or that it can be programmatically included?

Despite Henry Thompson being associated with XSV I found it not to be quite up 
to snuff yet. Plus you need to be somewhat OK with Python. I'd guess that the 
latest Xerces is probably the best bet at the moment for schema validation, if 
Java is not an issue. One disconcerting thing (at least last time I looked); 
xsd:date was not supported. Go figure.
