z/OS XML System Services include the
following three primary functions:
- A query service that allows callers to determine the encoding
of the document and acquire information from the XML declaration.
- Parsing with schema validation
- Parsing without validation
These functions are provided in the form of callable services.
A caller can access these services through the
z/OS XML System Services APIs (for information
on the APIs, see
z/OS XML XL C/C++ API and
z/OS XML parser API: Assembler ). The following two sections provide
a summary of the functions, with pointers on where to go for more
information.
