RE: [xml] How to auto-validate against DTD or schema?

["Parag Chandra" <pchandra slickedit com>]

Daniel,

Are you saying that if I switch over to using the tree APIs, I will be
able to auto-validate against either a DTD or a schema, whichever
happens to be present in the document? Or will I still need to handle
this auto-detection myself? Thanks for your help.

  No, currently the Schemas validating API does not work on a reader, it
needs a full tree.
