How to validate xml with a XSD import/include other XSD files?

The root one:

a.xsd

Which imports | includes:

<xsd:import schemaLocation="b.xsd"/>
<xsd:include schemaLocation="c.xsd"/>

I know there are lots of online tools (validator) can have one XML file and a single one .xsd file as input and run the validation.

Considering the "import" and "include" are involved, what are the options to validate an XML file by just specify a single .xsd file?

Which GUI tool (a free one) can be used to do a quick validation? How to implement in code of any one of the languages Java/C#/C++/Python?

Thank you in advance

  1. The answer is simple: put following files in the same folder.

    • a.xsd
    • b.xsd
    • c.xsd

  2. I've wrote a Validator.py with following contents:

    import sys
from lxml import etree
doc = etree.parse(sys.argv[1])
xmlschema_doc = etree.parse('a.xsd')
xmlschema = etree.XMLSchema(xmlschema_doc)
if xmlschema(doc):
    print 'Success!'
else:
    print 'Invalid!'
    xmlschema.assertValid(doc)
raw_input()

  3. Execute in command line (Windows):

    python Validator.py aParser.xml
