Compare XML Schema Java API
The following listing shows how to compare two XML Schema documents with Java and the Membrane SOA Model.
package sample.schema;
import java.util.List;
import com.predic8.schema.Schema;
import com.predic8.schema.SchemaParser;
import com.predic8.schema.diff.SchemaDiffGenerator;
import com.predic8.soamodel.Difference;
public class CompareSchema {
public static void main(String[] args) {
compare();
}
private static void compare(){
SchemaParser parser = new SchemaParser();
Schema schema1 = parser.parse("resources/diff/1/common.xsd");
Schema schema2 = parser.parse("resources/diff/2/common.xsd");
SchemaDiffGenerator diffGen = new SchemaDiffGenerator(schema1, schema2);
List<Difference> lst = diffGen.compare();
for (Difference diff : lst) {
dumpDiff(diff, "");
}
}
private static void dumpDiff(Difference diff, String level) {
System.out.println(level + diff.getDescription());
for (Difference localDiff : diff.getDiffs()){
dumpDiff(localDiff, level + " ");
}
}
}
Listing 1: CompareSchema.java
After executing you get the output shown in listing 2. It is a List of differences between the two Schema documents.
