To validate your files with these schemas, you can use a third-party XML tool
such as xmllint
.
The syntax for using xmllint
to validate a schema is as follows:
Use http:
for the schema_location URL
since xmllint
doesn't support https:
.
$ xmllint --schema schema_location file_to_validate
The following example validates the mypriceupdates.xml file against the Transaction message schema:
$ xmllint --schema http://www.gstatic.com/ads-travel/hotels/api/transaction.xsd mypriceupdates.xml
The following example validates the myfeed.xml file against the Hotel List Feed schema and only showing the errors if they exist:
$ xmllint --noout --schema http://www.gstatic.com/localfeed/local_feed.xsd myfeed.xml
