RE: XML Schema parser

I'm still learning just how to use all this new vocabulary.  Forgive me for
my blunders.  I understand that Schema's are valid XML.  The thing that I
want to be able to do is to validate incoming XML files against an existing
Schema programmatically.  

Thanks,

Margaret

I'm not sure I understand -- an XML Schema-aware processor parses XML 1.0
documents using an XML Schema.  As part of that parsing, it
necessarily uses a basic XML parser.  Of the available XML Schema
parsers, I know that XSV uses a fully-compliant XML 1.0 validating
parser (namely rxp) as its first stage.  I presume Oracle's XML Schema 
parser uses their validating parser, but I'm not sure.
