Abstract

This specification defines an XML Schema API, a platform- and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and query the post-schema-validation infoset (PSVI) defined in Contributions to the post-schema-validation infoset (Appendix C.2). This specification also defines interfaces for loading XML schema documents.

This specification is implemented in Apache Xerces2 Java Parser. There is also a C++ binding and implementation for this specification in Apache Xerces C++ Parser.
