It’s just data

WSDL validator?

Don Box: Sam and Mark's RSS Validator Rocks!...I just took five minutes to convert my 0.91 feed to 2.0...Perhaps when the first CR goes out for WSDL/1.2, I'll hack one up for WSDL.   Care to collaborate?  Now that would rock.

Should we write it in C# or Java (or both)?

How about Python? ;-)

Better yet, how about XSLT or schematron?

My first reaction is that schematron looks excellent for this task.

My second reaction is that schematron is only suitable for the low hanging fruit.

There are a number of places in the rss validator that we felt the need for the full power of regular expressions. Can this be handled in schematron?

Posted by Sam Ruby at

Schematron depends on XSLT (or at least XPath 1.0). There's no W3C standard compliant way to use regular expressions in XSLT but more importantly I'm not sure there is a portable way to get regexes to work in the major implementations.

So, the question is whether we seek a language with a portable way to support regexes, or whether we don't feel that regexes are necessary for the problem at hand.

I'd like to validate that certain values are relative URIs and others are fully qualified, for example.
