XML Validation

casa

Hello,

I need to validate XML documents in Ruby. I was told that REXML can't
perform validation, thus I tried using libxml.

SaxParser can't validate against a given DTD, so I tried DOM Parser.
But I can't find a way to get DOCTYPE from Document resulting from
parsing. I could find DTD file with a regexp against document source,
but it seems quite unefficient to me.

Is there a way to properly validate against a DTD using libxml-ruby or
is there a gem providing such a feature ?

NOTE: please don't try to convince me that I don"t need validation!

I wouldn't think of it. XML, now, that's something you don't need. ;-)

Well done ;o)

Now, do you know a replacement for structured document format? YAML is =20=

great, but I can't figure how to use it for that purpose... RDoc is =20
great for README files, but it ends with hugly HTML tags for more =20
complex documents. SGML is great also, but writing a DTD is far too =20
complex. LaTeX is great too, but I can't parse it. That's why I'm =20
stuck with XML and need validation.
