How Do I Validate Xml Against A Dtd File In Python
I need to validate an XML string (and not a file) against a DTD description file. How can that be done in python?
Solution 1:
Another good option is lxml's validation which I find quite pleasant to use.
A simple example taken from the lxml site:
from StringIO import StringIO
from lxml import etree
dtd = etree.DTD(StringIO("""<!ELEMENT foo EMPTY>"""))
root = etree.XML("<foo/>")
print(dtd.validate(root))
# True
root = etree.XML("<foo>bar</foo>")
print(dtd.validate(root))
# Falseprint(dtd.error_log.filter_from_errors())
# <string>:1:0:ERROR:VALID:DTD_NOT_EMPTY: Element foo was declared EMPTY this one has content
