- a validating parser from any third party tool will perform the following checks to the govt xml file generated by RPYEU
(1) - verify the govt xml document is properly created according to the XML syntax rules, i.e. the file is well formed, no missing xml tags etc
(2) - verify the govt xml document conforms to the schema downloaded from the government web site
- the validating parser software will not be provided, the user must use the validating parser of their own
- the following is a list of some of the parsers available on the market:
XML editors that provide a validating parser:
XML Spy (http://www.altova.com/products_ide.html)
Stylus (http://www.stylusstudio.com/)
XRay (http://architag.com/xray/)
XMLMind (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/)
Cooktop (http://www.xmlcooktop.com/)
- the XMLSPY editor is being used to validate the xml file for the following validation
- user should download the Florida XML schema into a directory, e.g. C:\US States Downloads
- move the RPYEU generated file FL_QTR_SUI_222601_idif.xml to the schema directory
- open FL_QTR_SUI_222601_idif.xml with the validating parser, e.g. XMPSPY
In XMLSPY, if the user encounters this message, click ‘DTD/Schema’ and choose ‘Assign Schema’ and select the schema location.
Follow the XMLSPY instructions to select the schema location:
After the Schema location is assigned, then click ‘Revalidate’.
The user may click the ‘Yellow Tick’ toggle to check if the file is well-formed.
The user may click the ‘Green Tick’ toggle to check if the file is valid according to the Assigned Schema.
After the XML file is validated, the user can send to the State government.
