xsd.Any

An element wildcard (xsd.Any schema component) provides for validation of xml.ElementInformationItem objects dependent on their namespace names and optionally on their local names.

Base class: xsd.Component

class xsd.Any

Proper instances of this class will be created within RaptorXML only, instantiation from script code will throw a NotImplementedError exception.

Attributes

xsd.Any.annotations

Returns an iterator of xsd.Annotation components.

xsd.Component.element

Returns the xml.ElementInformationItem representing this schema component.

xsd.Component.id

Returns the value of the ‘id’ attribute as a string, or None if the schema component’s XML element doesn’t have an ‘id’ attribute.

xsd.Any.namespace_constraint

Returns a xsd.NamespaceConstraint property record.

xsd.Any.process_contents

Returns one of {xsd.ProcessContents.SKIP, xsd.ProcessContents.STRICT, xsd.ProcessContents.LAX}. The process_contents property controls the impact on assessment of the information items allowed by wildcards, as follows:

  • xsd.ProcessContents.STRICT: There must be a top-level declaration for the item available, or the item must have an

xsi:type, and the item must be valid as appropriate.

  • xsd.ProcessContents.SKIP: No constraints at all: the item must simply be well-formed XML.

  • xsd.ProcessContents.LAX: If the item has a uniquely determined declaration available, it must be valid.
