[xsd-users] Data validation

[Moss, David R (SELEX Comms) (UK Christchurch)]

Boris,

The following in-memory data validation would be of most use to me at
the moment:

- Built-in types (as you mention)
- Facet restrictions (especially length, minLength, maxLength,
minInclusive, 	maxInclusive, minExclusive, maxExclusive, enumeration
and pattern)
- all
- unique
- union
- extension (of user defined types)

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Dave.

There is no precise time-table. The next version (1.9.0) which is
scheduled for release some time next week, will (hopefully) be the
last in the 1.x series and won't include any significant new features -
mostly code cleanups, support for extra platforms/compilers (notably
HP-UX/aCC) and small fixes.

After that we will start working on 2.0.0, with the major new feature
being the new parser architecture which will be able to handle repeated
element definitions. The in-memory validation is going to be added
gradually over several versions, starting from the built-in types and
structure and continuing with the more complicated cases, such as facet-
based restrictions on simple types, etc. Some of these might end up in
2.0.0 but most likely in 2.0.1. The 2.0.0 is scheduled for around March
6.

If you could give us a list of schema constraints that are important to
you, we will try to add them first.
