DESCRIPTION
mono-xmltool is a command line front end for various functions
available in the Mono XML class libraries. It currently it offers
validation with various different kinds of schemas, xslt
transformations and pretty printing.
XML VALIDATION
mono-xmltool can validate a given set of XML files (the instances
parameter) using the given schema file. Currently supported schema
files include Relax NG (*.rng), Compact Relax NG (*.rnc), Namespace-
based Validation Dispatching Language (*.nvdl) and XML Schema (*.xsd).
If invoked with the --validate argument, Mono will use the filename
extension to guess the kind of validation required. The --validate-xxx
flags would force a specific kind of validation.
The following lists the flags and the actual class that implements them
in Mono:
--validate-rng
Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RelaxNgPattern as the schema, and
Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RelaxngValidatingReader validator.
--validate-rnc
Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RncParser as the schema, and
Commons.Xml.Relaxng.RelaxngValidatingReader validator.
--validate-nvdl
Commons.Xml.Nvdl as the schema and
Commons.Xml.NvdlValidatingReader validator.
--validate-xsd
System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema as the schema and uses
System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader as the validator.
TRANSFORMATIONS
This does an XSLT transformation. The stylesheet must be an XSLT file,
the instance-xml is the document to be processed. Output it sent to
the standard output.
PRETTY PRINTING
Produces a pretty-print rendering of the source file. If it is not
specified it reads the standard input. If result is not specified,
the output is sent to the standard output.
