Use the XML Validator policy to validate a request against an XML Schema Definition (XSD). You can upload an XML XSD file in the policy dialog as a valid Swagger XML document. If an invalid path or parameter or object is not defined in the schema, the client receives a Schema Validation Failed error.
Alternatively, you can use the specification that you upload to create an API.
Policy Execution Order
This XML Validator policy executes after the request has been authenticated. You can use both the XML XSD and XML DTD policies concurrently as long as the schema definitions do not conflict.
Expression Enabled Fields in API Policies
All expression enabled fields take expressions from the SnapLogic Expression Language and the API Policy Manager functions.
Parameter Name | Description | Default Value | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
Label | Required. The name for the API policy. | XML XSD Validator | XSD Validator |
When this policy should be applied | An expression enabled field that determines the condition to be fulfilled for the API policy to execute. For example, if the value in this field is request.method == "POST", the API policy is executed only if the request method is a POST. | True | request.method == "POST" |
Edit XSD | Launches the XML editor which allows you to define XML. The editor loads an existing XML document if defined previously. The editor lets you save XML in SnapLogic's file system or import existing XML documents from it. | Empty XML file | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
