I am looking for a java parser that when fed a DTD returns a model
representing all the valid documents that can be expressed using that
DTD, i.e. for any given element type I need to be able to determine what
are valid sub-elements/attributes/content. One additional constraint is
that I need to parse the DTD outside of the context of an XML document.
I would ideally like to be able to write code something like :-
>DTDParser dp =3D new DTDParser( dtdInputStream );
>if( dp.isValid() =3D=3D true ) {
> Element[] childElems =3D dp.getRoot().getChildElements();
> Attribute[] attrs =3D childElems[0].getAttributes();
> =09
> if( childElems[0].isChildElement( "someelement" ) =3D=3D true ) {
> ...
> }
>}
I believe Larval may have this kind of capability (i'm not sure yet),
are there others?
Best regards.
