This example assumes the following class is already on your CLASSPATH:
XmlExamples.groovy
class XmlExamples {
static def CAR_RECORDS = '''
<records>
<car name='HSV Maloo' make='Holden' year='2006'>
<country>Australia</country>
<record type='speed'>Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph</record>
</car>
<car name='P50' make='Peel' year='1962'>
<country>Isle of Man</country>
<record type='size'>Smallest Street-Legal Car at 99cm wide and 59 kg in weight</record>
</car>
<car name='Royale' make='Bugatti' year='1931'>
<country>France</country>
<record type='price'>Most Valuable Car at $15 million</record>
</car>
</records>
'''
}
We can validate that segment of XML against a Schema with the following code:
def xsd = ''' <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:element name="records"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="car"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="car"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="country"/> <xs:element ref="record"/> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="make" use="required" type="xs:NCName"/> <xs:attribute name="name" use="required"/> <xs:attribute name="year" use="required" type="xs:integer"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="country" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="record"> <xs:complexType mixed="true"> <xs:attribute name="type" use="required" type="xs:NCName"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> '''.trim() import javax.xml.XMLConstants import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory def factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI) def schema = factory.newSchema(new StreamSource(new StringReader(xsd))) def validator = schema.newValidator() validator.validate(new StreamSource(new StringReader(XmlExamples.CAR_RECORDS)))
