Testing a DFDL schema file

When you have defined your DFDL schemas, test them in the editor before they are used on a production system.

Before you begin

Create or open a DFDL schema file.

You can use the DFDL Test Perspective to test-parse and test-serialize sample data against your DFDL schemas.

You can test a DFDL schema in one or all of the following ways:

Generate a logical instance document from your DFDL schema; see Testing a DFDL schema by creating a logical instance.
Test-parse sample data against your DFDL schema; see Testing a DFDL schema by parsing test input data.
You can test-serialize from a logical instance using data from your DFDL schema; see Testing a DFDL schema by serializing test output data.
