[xml] Getting complextype name and datatype from XML Schema

["Trond Aksel Myklebust" <tamyk online no>]

Hello,

If I got a XML document with XML Schema defined for it, is it possible for a given node in the XML document to get the complexType name (if existing) the node belongs to and the datatype for the node?

I.e, if I got a ”title” node in a document, which is defined in the XML Schema to be part of the complexType below, I want to get that ”title” is part of the complexType ”elementType” and of datatype ”xs:string”.

 

  <xs:complexType name="elementType">

    <xs:simpleContent>

      <xs:extension base="xs:string">

        <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang" use="optional"/>

      </xs:extension>

    </xs:simpleContent>

  </xs:complexType>

 

 

Is this possible with libxml2? (Using the Python bindings)
