Hi, I'm trying to convert an XML file to DBF. Right now I do this manually, opening the XML file in Excel 2003 and saving it as a DBF 4 file type. This is a boring and time consuming process, made worse by the fact that neither Office 2007, nor Office 2008 for Mac allow saving as DBF any more. I'd like a way to automate this, if possib...
I need to write a text with the unicode character 0x1F in a utf-8 document (it is not an allowed character in xml). Is there a way to escape it, or do I have to discard it? ...

Is there any reason why <xs:group> cannot appear inside <xs:all>, but only inside <xs:sequence>? Let's see an example. Say, there is a list of tags (<a> to <d> and <e> to <f> - see example below) which do not appear in any particular order, but always wrapped into another object (either <foo> or <bar>); <foo>={<a>, <b>, <c>, <d>}; <bar>...
I've been looking around for a way to programmatically parse XSD files to generate an XML mapping so that I can take any XSD file and create a parser that will parse any XML file that conforms to it, and my google-fu has been coming up short. XSOM looks promising, as it will parse an XSD file and make all its attributes available in a ...

I've always found validation against a schema to be an invaluable ward against thinkos and would like to incorporate validation checks as part of a project where I frequently need to hand-write XML files a few hundred lines in length. My text editor has a fairly nice CLI integration feature, so I'm looking for a command-line validator. ...
