Validator-driven architecture of an XML parsing and validating solution

摘要

A method for parsing a document in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) format includes identifying data via the XML format, defining a tag set including a plurality of tags, defining a tokenizer that produces one token at a time, parsing the XML document via a parser, validating the XML document via a validation engine, the validation engine driving the tokenizer, the validating being an integral part of the parsing, and permitting the validation engine to be written in a recursive-descent code-driven manner.

1. A method for parsing a document, the document being in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) format, the method comprising:
parsing the XML document via a parser; validating the XML document via a validation engine operating on a computer, the validation engine driving a tokenizer to produce one token at a time from the XML document, the driving being based on a recursive-decent and code driven method, and the validating being an integral part of the parsing.
