How to validate a PAD (Portable Application Document)

PAD helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format. We've created an experimental XML Schema for PAD: Portable Application Description, based on these specifications.

Once you've included this schema in your PAD, XMLBlueprint XML Editor will support XML Completion for your PAD. To validate your PAD, open it in XMLBlueprint XML Editor and click XML > Validate.

To use this XML Schema, start your PAD with:

<XML_DIZ_INFO

      xmlns="http://www.xmlblueprint.com/PAD"

      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      xsi:schemaLocation="

            http://www.xmlblueprint.com/PAD

            http://www.xmlblueprint.com/documents/pad.xsd">

      ...
