Checking Well-Formed XML files with ABAP Mapping

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

Anybody knows which is the best way to check (well-formed) incoming XML files trough XI?

I’m using ABAP Mapping and before I check the value of the XML fields I want to check if the XML is well-formed. For this reason I need to know which is the class or classes that I need to use to checking the format of XML using an XSD file?

That is also possible using a DTD file instead of XSD?

Which is better XSD or DTD?

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo,

You can copy the XML into XML spy or any similar tool and check for its wellformedness.
