Definitive XML Schema

Historically this was the first integration test suite of xsdata and is still used to make sure things still work between minor code changes.

It’s based on the samples from the book Definitive XML Schema by Priscilla Walmsley.

The samples cover most of the XML Schema language traits and the test suite is using the cli with the dataclass format to generate code and demonstrate the current data binding capabilities for the dataclass by deserializing XML data to python content trees and then converting them back to JSON and XML documents.

W3C XML Schema Suite

xsdata is constantly tested and measured against the W3C XML Schema 1.1 test suite.

The suite is quite extensible and consist of more than 26k tests cases for both XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1.

Hint

Because of the size and time it takes to run the test runner is on it’s own repo.

At least until I can manage to reduce the total run time which is about 8 minutes without coverage.

Report

45 failed, 14521 passed, 110 skipped @ travis-ci

Methodology

• Invalid schema tests or no schema tests are ignored (~12k tests)

• Generate dataclasses for given schema. - Fail when cli raises exception or expected module::class is not found.

• Parse the given xml instance. - Fail when parser raises exception.

• Serialize to xml and validate against the schema. - Fail if final output is invalid. - Skip if original instance or schema also fail validation.

For all XML Schema definitions we use the xmlschema to validate results.

Hint

xsdata is an xml binding library not a schema validator.
