Abstract
A method for validating simple type data in XML documents, the method comprising: identifying data via an Extensible Markup Language (XML); developing schema for specifying formal data typing and validation of element content in terms of data types; generating a parser for parsing the collection of elements in a first stage where the schema is read and modeled in terms of abstract schema components, a second stage where the schema is augmented with a set of calculated schema components and properties used to drive code generation, and a third stage where the schema is traversed to generate a validation code for each of the collection of elements, and generate simple type validator modules which perform well-formedness checking the data; validating the simple type data against specific type information; and converting the data to datatype-specific form, all in a single pass.
