I would suggest using XSLT or custom program to extract the part of interest, and validate that. john

Can xerces-c do this? I have a large XML file but I only use a small part of this XML file and only for this small part I have an XSD file. This part can be placed anywhere in the XML file and the rest of the XML file can be anything. Should I: 1. modify the xsd so it allows anything as parent elements (is this even possible?) or 2. instruct xerces to only validate part of the xml document and ignore the rest, how can I tell xerces to do this? Thanks, Ralph.
