Is there an XSD validator for Node.js

Question

I need to validate XML in a node.js application.I have found this, but it's basically a java plugin, and despite the excellent pun making opportunities, I would prefer not to use Java in my JavaScript. So is there a native node module that can validate XML based on an XSD schema? (1.1 compatibility very much preferred)

Answer 1

there have neen some new developments since you originally asked:

• https://github.com/libxmljs/libxmljs provides a javascript wrapper for libxml, though it does require some building/binding using node-gyp.
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/xmllint is basically an Emscripten javascript port of libxml2's xmllint code.
• another out-of-the-box solution to consider is translating the XSD to a JSON schema, translating the XML to JSON, and then running JSON validation. Though this has more steps and can be more error prone.

Hope this helps!
