 1. In Notepad++ go to `Plugins &gt; Plugin manager &gt; Show Plugin Manager` then find  `Xml Tools` plugin. Tick the box and click `Install`    

    ![enter image description here][1] 

 

 2. Open XML document you want to validate and click &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;M&lt;/kbd&gt; (Or use Menu if this is your preference `Plugins &gt; XML Tools &gt; Validate Now`).   
Following dialog will open:
![enter image description here][2]


 3. Click on `...`. Point to XSD file and I am pretty sure you&#39;ll be able to handle things from here.


Hope this saves you some time.

 

**EDIT:** 
Plugin manager was not included in some versions of Notepad++ because many users didn&#39;t like commercials that it used to show. If you want to keep an older version, however still want plugin manager, you can get it on [github][3], and install it by extracting the archive and copying contents to plugins and updates folder.    
In version `7.7.1` plugin manager is back under a different guise... `Plugin Admin` so now you can simply update notepad++ and have it back.

I have a classification task with a time-series as the data input, where each attribute (n=23) represents a specific point in time. Besides the absolute classification result I would like to find out, which attributes/dates contribute to the result to what extent. Therefore I am just using the `feature_importances_`, which works well for me.

However, I would like to know how they are getting calculated and which measure/algorithm is used. Unfortunately I could not find any documentation on this topic.

Can someone explain how to use Notepad++ to validate an xml file against an xsd.  There are no options in the &quot;XML Tools&quot; plugin dropdown that provides for specifying an XSD file.   The XML plugin is installed properly in the plugins subdir and the 3 DLLs are copied to the Notepad++ EXE subdirectory.  Other XML &quot;validation&quot; features work but there is no way to validate against an XSD.

Using Notepad++ to validate XML against an XSD

Is there a package out there, for Ubuntu and/or CentOS, that has a command-line tool that can execute an XPath one-liner like `foo //element@attribute filename.xml` or `foo //element@attribute &lt; filename.xml` and return the results line by line?

I&#39;m looking for something that would allow me to just `apt-get install foo` or `yum install foo` and then just works out-of-the-box, no wrappers or other adaptation necessary.

Here are some examples of things that come close:

Nokogiri. If I write this wrapper I could call the wrapper in the way described above:

    #!/usr/bin/ruby

    require &#39;nokogiri&#39;

    Nokogiri::XML(STDIN).xpath(ARGV[0]).each do |row|
      puts row
    end

XML::XPath. Would work with this wrapper:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use XML::XPath;

    my $root = XML::XPath-&gt;new(ioref =&gt; &#39;STDIN&#39;);
    for my $node ($root-&gt;find($ARGV[0])-&gt;get_nodelist) {
      print($node-&gt;getData, &quot;\n&quot;);
    }

`xpath` from XML::XPath returns too much noise, `-- NODE --` and `attribute = &quot;value&quot;`.

`xml_grep` from XML::Twig cannot handle expressions that do not return elements, so cannot be used to extract attribute values without further processing.

EDIT:

`echo cat //element/@attribute | xmllint --shell filename.xml` returns noise similar to `xpath`.

`xmllint --xpath //element/@attribute filename.xml` returns `attribute = &quot;value&quot;`.

`xmllint --xpath &#39;string(//element/@attribute)&#39; filename.xml` returns what I want, but only for the first match.

For another solution almost satisfying the question, here is an XSLT that can be used to evaluate arbitrary XPath expressions (requires dyn:evaluate support in the XSLT processor):

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
    &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&quot;1.0&quot;
        xmlns:dyn=&quot;http://exslt.org/dynamic&quot; extension-element-prefixes=&quot;dyn&quot;&gt;
      &lt;xsl:output omit-xml-declaration=&quot;yes&quot; indent=&quot;no&quot; method=&quot;text&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;&gt;
        &lt;xsl:for-each select=&quot;dyn:evaluate($pattern)&quot;&gt;
          &lt;xsl:value-of select=&quot;dyn:evaluate($value)&quot;/&gt;
          &lt;xsl:value-of select=&quot;&#39;&amp;#10;&#39;&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; 
      &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
    &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;

Run with `xsltproc --stringparam pattern //element/@attribute --stringparam value . arbitrary-xpath.xslt filename.xml`.

My company has thousands of existing xml web services and is starting to adopt AngularJs for new projects.

The tutorial over at http://angularjs.org/ uses json services exclusively. It looks like they make a service call in the controller, parse the resulting JSON, and pass the resulting object directly to the view.

What do I do with XML? I see four options:

1. Parse it and pass the DOM object directly to the UI(view).

2. Put a JSON wrapper around my XML services on the server side.

3. convert the DOM object to JSON with some library on the client side and convert it back when I make the post/put requests.

4. Convert the DOM object to a JavaScript object manually on the client side.


What the correct approach and why?

I&#39;m looking to create a comma-separated list of values from a SQL Server 2005 table, just like in [JanetOhara&#39;s question][1].  I&#39;m using a query similar to the one presented in [techdo&#39;s answer][2] to the question.

Everything is working, except the list of values is getting XML encoded.  What should be:

    Sports &amp; Recreation,x &gt;= y

Is instead returning as:

I am using `xsd:all` in a complex type. When I miss any mandatory elements while validating it will show all the elements. It will not display the exact missed  element.

But if I am use `xsd:sequence` I can get the exact missed element.

Is there any difference between these two?

`xsd:sequence`: XML element must be in same order.

But `xsd:all`: XML element may be any order.

I&#39;m having this problem with referencing my XML Schema in an XML file.

I have my XSD in this path:

    C:\environment\workspace\maven-ws\ProjectXmlSchema\email.xsd

But when in my XML file I&#39;m trying to locate the schema like this, the XSD is not found:

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot; ?&gt;
        &lt;email xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3schools.com&quot;
               xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;
        	   xsi:schemaLocation=&quot;http://www.w3schools.com
                     file://C://environment//workspace//maven-ws//ProjextXmlSchema//email.xsd&quot;&gt;

The only way the XSD is found is when it&#39;s in the same folder:

               xsi:schemaLocation=&quot;http://www.w3schools.com email.xsd&quot;

So the question is this: **How does the path have to look so that the XSD will be found if the XML file wasn&#39;t in the same folder as the XSD file?**

By the way, the example I&#39;ve been using was from [MSDN][1]:  they&#39;re claiming it&#39;s supposed to work the way I tried to. But it doesn&#39;t.
