[Delphi] How to validate XML with XSD in Delphi without using MSXML?

Question

How do you validate XML with XSD in Delphi without using MSXML? I am limited to MSXML3 which can't do XSD. Googling gave me little to nothing at all. Please help me, thanks.

Answer 1

I'm afraid there is no non-MSXML XML library supporting XSD.

But there are some, which support DTD (e.g. Open XML). Maybe you can rewrite your schema to DTD, even if DTD is less powerful.

Answer 2

Are you using SQL Server by any chance? If so you could do through it.

Other than that you could use third party, free tools (like saxon).

I have never used/needed Delphi's one, but so, I suppose you've seen: C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\source\Win32\xml ? (Obviously the path will likely be different as mine is Delphi 2007).

Answer 3

If .Net is installed you could use the .Net XML library.
