type tree construction

[mala1]

with out knowing the type of inputfile(edi or xml or flatfile)is it possible to build a type tree

No

Sure you can! Just use a text/binary item for the input card, it will accept everything.

which has got better performance
1)Reading the XML as text(without parsing) and then echoing to a run map and validating using XML type tree in the run map
or
2)Reading the XML as text(without parsing) and then using XMLLIB->validate function in the same map using the map rule
Thanks

I was referring to a type tree with some structure.

Hello Mala1,


XMLLIB--->VALIDATE(xml, schema_url) is a functionality introduced in WTX. In earlier versions of DSTX, we used to parse at the input type because such a functionality did not exist. I feel both approaches are meant depending on your requirements and built-in system functionality.

My personal opinion is that it might be convenient to use XMLLIB--->VALIDATE. It is because error handling might be simplified this way.

Performance-wise, parsing at the input is fair enaough; although I do not have any data on XMLLIB---->VALIDATE.

I hope this helps!
