Schematron - Uses

Uses

Schematron expresses constraints through an XPath-based language that can be deployed as XSLT code, making it practical for applications such as the following:

Adjunct to Structural Validation

by testing for co-occurrence constraints, non-regular constraints, and inter-document constraints, Schematron can extend the validations able to be expressed in languages such as DTDs, RELAX NG or XML Schema.

Lightweight Business Rules Engine

Schematron is not a comprehensive, Rete rules engine, but it can be used to express rules about complex structures with an XML document.

XML Editor Syntax Highlighting Rules

XML Editors use Schematron rules to conditionally highlight XML files for errors.
