XML 模式验证范例

Using Qt XML Patterns to validate XML with a W3C XML Schema.

The XML Schema Validation example shows how to use Qt XML Patterns to validate XML with a W3C XML Schema.

介绍

The example application shows different XML schema definitions and for every definition two XML instance documents, one that is valid according to the schema and one that is not. The user can select the valid or invalid instance document, change it and validate it again.

用户界面

The UI for this example was created using Qt Designer :

The UI consists of three parts, at the top the XML schema selection and the schema viewer , below the XML instance selection and the instance editor and at the bottom the validation status label next to the validation button .

Validating XML Instance Documents

You can select one of the three predefined XML schemas and for each schema an valid or invalid instance document. A click on the 'Validate' button will validate the content of the XML instance editor against the schema from the XML schema viewer. As you can modify the content of the instance editor, different instances can be tested and validation error messages analysed.

Code Walk-Through

The example's main() function creates the standard instance of QApplication . Then it creates an instance of the mainwindow class, shows it, and starts the Qt event loop:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    Q_INIT_RESOURCE(schema);
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MainWindow* const window = new MainWindow;
    window->show();
    return app.exec();
}

The UI Class: MainWindow

The example's UI is a conventional Qt GUI application inheriting QMainWindow and the class generated by Qt Designer :

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow,
                   private Ui::SchemaMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    MainWindow();
private Q_SLOTS:
    void schemaSelected(int index);
    void instanceSelected(int index);
    void validate();
    void textChanged();
private:
    void moveCursor(int line, int column);
};

The constructor fills the schema and instance QComboBox selections with the predefined schemas and instances and connects their currentIndexChanged() signals to the window's schemaSelected() resp. instanceSelected() slot. Furthermore the signal-slot connections for the validation button and the instance editor are set up.

The call to schemaSelected(0) and instanceSelected(0) will trigger the validation of the initial Contact Schema example.

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
    setupUi(this);
    new XmlSyntaxHighlighter(schemaView->document());
    new XmlSyntaxHighlighter(instanceEdit->document());
    schemaSelection->addItem(tr("Contact Schema"));
    schemaSelection->addItem(tr("Recipe Schema"));
    schemaSelection->addItem(tr("Order Schema"));
    instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Valid Contact Instance"));
    instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Invalid Contact Instance"));
    connect(schemaSelection, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(int)), SLOT(schemaSelected(int)));
    connect(instanceSelection, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(int)), SLOT(instanceSelected(int)));
    connect(validateButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), SLOT(validate()));
    connect(instanceEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged()), SLOT(textChanged()));
    validationStatus->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter | Qt::AlignVCenter);
    schemaSelected(0);
    instanceSelected(0);
}

在 schemaSelected() slot the content of the instance selection is adapted to the selected schema and the corresponding schema is loaded from the resource file and displayed in the schema viewer . At the end of the method a revalidation is triggered.

void MainWindow::schemaSelected(int index)
{
    instanceSelection->clear();
    if (index == 0) {
        instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Valid Contact Instance"));
        instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Invalid Contact Instance"));
    } else if (index == 1) {
        instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Valid Recipe Instance"));
        instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Invalid Recipe Instance"));
    } else if (index == 2) {
        instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Valid Order Instance"));
        instanceSelection->addItem(tr("Invalid Order Instance"));
    }
    textChanged();
    const QString fileName = QStringLiteral(":/schema_")
        + QString::number(index) + QStringLiteral(".xsd");
    QFile schemaFile(fileName);
    if (!schemaFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
        qWarning() << "Cannot open" << QDir::toNativeSeparators(fileName)
            << ':' << schemaFile.errorString();
        return;
    }
    const QString schemaText(QString::fromUtf8(schemaFile.readAll()));
    schemaView->setPlainText(schemaText);
    validate();
}

在 instanceSelected() slot the selected instance is loaded from the resource file and loaded into the instance editor an the revalidation is triggered again.

void MainWindow::instanceSelected(int index)
{
    if (index < 0) {
        instanceEdit->setPlainText(QString());
        return;
    }
    const QString fileName = QStringLiteral(":/instance_")
        + QString::number(2 * schemaSelection->currentIndex() + index)
        + QStringLiteral(".xml");
    QFile instanceFile(fileName);
    if (!instanceFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
        qWarning() << "Cannot open" << QDir::toNativeSeparators(fileName)
            << ':' << instanceFile.errorString();
        return;
    }
    const QString instanceText(QString::fromUtf8(instanceFile.readAll()));
    instanceEdit->setPlainText(instanceText);
    validate();
}

The validate() slot does the actual work in this example. At first it stores the content of the schema viewer 和 editor into temporary variables . Then it instanciates a MessageHandler object which inherits from QAbstractMessageHandler and is a convenience class to store error messages from the XmlPatterns system.

class MessageHandler : public QAbstractMessageHandler
{
public:
    MessageHandler()
        : QAbstractMessageHandler(0)
    {
    }
    QString statusMessage() const
    {
        return m_description;
    }
    int line() const
    {
        return m_sourceLocation.line();
    }
    int column() const
    {
        return m_sourceLocation.column();
    }
protected:
    virtual void handleMessage(QtMsgType type, const QString &description,
                               const QUrl &identifier, const QSourceLocation &sourceLocation)
    {
        Q_UNUSED(type);
        Q_UNUSED(identifier);
        m_description = description;
        m_sourceLocation = sourceLocation;
    }
private:
    QString m_description;
    QSourceLocation m_sourceLocation;
};

之后 QXmlSchema is instanciated and the message handler set on it, the load() method is called with the schema data as argument. If the schema is invalid or a parsing error has occurred, isValid() 返回 false and the error is flagged in errorOccurred . If the loading was successful, a QXmlSchemaValidator is instanciated and the schema passed in the constructor. A call to validate() will validate the passed XML instance data against the XML schema. The return value of that method signals whether the validation was successful. Depending on the success the status label is set to 'validation successful' or the error message stored in the MessageHandler

The rest of the code does only some fancy coloring and eyecandy.

void MainWindow::validate()
{
    const QByteArray schemaData = schemaView->toPlainText().toUtf8();
    const QByteArray instanceData = instanceEdit->toPlainText().toUtf8();
    MessageHandler messageHandler;
    QXmlSchema schema;
    schema.setMessageHandler(&messageHandler);
    schema.load(schemaData);
    bool errorOccurred = false;
    if (!schema.isValid()) {
        errorOccurred = true;
    } else {
        QXmlSchemaValidator validator(schema);
        if (!validator.validate(instanceData))
            errorOccurred = true;
    }
    if (errorOccurred) {
        validationStatus->setText(messageHandler.statusMessage());
        moveCursor(messageHandler.line(), messageHandler.column());
    } else {
        validationStatus->setText(tr("validation successful"));
    }
    const QString styleSheet = QString("QLabel {background: %1; padding: 3px}")
                                      .arg(errorOccurred ? QColor(Qt::red).lighter(160).name() :
                                                           QColor(Qt::green).lighter(160).name());
    validationStatus->setStyleSheet(styleSheet);
}
