XMLLint Processor
Purpose
Validates XML files using xmllint.
The Rust alternative is ixmllint: the same well-formedness checks and --schema validation, in-process, with libxml2’s messages and verdicts. Switching is xmllint → ixmllint in the stanza header, and args = ["--schema", "x.xsd"] → schema = "x.xsd". Files that need --valid, --dtdvalid or --relaxng stay here.
How It Works
Discovers .xml files in the project (excluding common build tool directories),
runs xmllint --noout on each file, and records success in the cache. A non-zero
exit code from xmllint fails the product.
This processor supports batch mode.
Source Files
- Input:
**/*.xml - Output: none (checker)
Configuration
[processor.checker.xmllint]
args = []
dep_inputs = []
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
args | string[] | [] | Extra arguments passed to xmllint |
dep_inputs | string[] | [] | Extra files whose changes trigger rebuilds |
Batch support
The tool accepts multiple files on the command line. When batching is enabled (default), rsconstruct passes all files in a single invocation for better performance.
Clean behavior
This processor is a Checker — rsconstruct clean outputs is a no-op for it (checkers produce no outputs). See Clean behavior and rsconstruct clean.
