T4 Parser

[edjack]

What validation parser can anyone recommend to use for validating a T4 XML file for CRA, in Canada?

[Mike King]

Do you need to validate the format of the XML or just Parse it for processing?

If you just need to parse it then the *obj/xml object will likely provide what need.  It will parse the XML into a object node tree making for easy access from within PxPlus.  It also performs a basic form check (valid tags, etc..) and can create new XML from a XML object node tree.

If you need to validate against the DTD we would suggest a 3rd party tools such as rxp or xmlvalid both of which claim to validate against the source DTD definition (if accessible)

I to validate the XML file using the Schema provided by CRA.

Just for information...
We ended up using a utility called "XMLmind" XML editor.
This editor can validate T4 & T4A files for Revenue Canada submission; using the CRA SCHEMA files.
