Hi everyone,
I have a few questions about the GnuCash XML.
Is there any XSD schema for GnuCash XML or only the RELAX NG schema? If
there is, can someone point me in the right direction.
Also, is the RELAX NG schema at:
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/src/doc/xml/gnucash-v2.rnc
current?
Ngewi,
You can use Trang (http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html) to convert
an RNG schema to XSD.
Gnucash-v2.rnc was contributed only a few months ago, so it's current. Whether
or not it's complete or correct is another matter.
It is fairly complete, but that's all I can say. I have tested in on
some of my datafiles which are full of business objects, the author
tested extensively as well. I haven't tested how it reacts on cache data
stored by the importers. The author has sent in two small patches that
are currently still lingering in bugzilla until I find the time to
commit them.
And lastly, although the schema is pretty complete, validation against
the schema doesn't guarantee a valid xml file for gnucash. There is
quite some data that is stored in kvp slots. There is no way to validate
the interdependencies of these slots via any form of xml shema. The kvp
slots are an old design decision we have been dragging along for years
and is one of the reasons you should not alter any data except via the
GnuCash API.
