NAME¶
XML::Validate::MSXML - Interface to MSXML validator
SYNOPSIS¶
my $validator = new XML::Validate::MSXML(%options); if ($doc = $validator->validate($xml)) { ... Do stuff with $doc ... } else { print "Document is invalid\n"; }
DESCRIPTION¶
XML::Validate::MSXML is an interface to Microsoft's MSXML parser (often available in Windows environments) which can be used with the XML::Validate module.
METHODS¶
- new(%options)
- Returns a new XML::Validate::MSXML instance using the specified options. (See OPTIONS below.)
- validate($xml)
- Returns true if $xml could be successfully parsed, undef otherwise.
- last_dom()
- Returns the MSXML DOM object of the document last validated.
- last_error()
- Returns the error from the last validate call. This is a hash ref with the following fields:
- create_doc_and_cache()
- Internal method for instantiation of MSXML DOMDocument and SchemaCache objects for use within the module.
- dependencies_available()
- Internal method to determine that the necessary dependencies are available for instantiation of MSXML DOMDocument and SchemaCache objects.
- load_schemas($msxml, $msxmlcache)
- Internal method to perform loading of XML schema(s) into SchemaCache object.
- message
- line
- column
Note that the error gets cleared at the beginning of each "validate" call.
- version()
- Returns the version of the MSXML component that is installed
OPTIONS¶
XML::Validate::MSXML takes the following options:
- strict_validation
- If this boolean value is true, the document will be validated during parsing. Otherwise it will only be checked for well-formedness. Defaults to true.
ERROR REPORTING¶
When a call to validate fails to parse the document, the error may be retrieved using last_error.
On errors not related to the XML parsing, these methods will throw exceptions. Wrap calls with eval to catch them.
PACKAGE GLOBALS¶
$XML::Validate::MSXML::MSXML_VERSION contains the version number of MSXML.
DEPENDENCIES¶
Win32::OLE, MSXML 4.0 or 5.0
