Description
This step performs an XSD validation against data in a file or in an input field.
XSD is short for XML Schema Definition. For more information, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Schema_(W3C)
As such, there are 2 entities at work here:
- The XML you want to validate the layout for
- The XSD (Schema) file that describes what the XML file should look like.
To make matters more complex, it's possible to store the XSD inside the XML (1) itself.
