XML XSD Validator rule

Use the XML Validator rule to validate a request against an XML Schema Definition (XSD). You can upload an XML XSD file to define the schema.

Validates a request against an XML Schema Definition (XSD). You can upload an XML XSD file in the rule 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.
Note: Alternatively, you can use the specification that you upload to create an API.

Policy execution order

The XML XSD Validator rule executes after the request has been authenticated. You can use both the XML XSD Validator and XML DTD Validator rule policies concurrently as long as the schemas do not conflict.

Note: All expression enabled fields in API Policies take expressions from Understanding Expressions in SnapLogic and the API Policy Manager Functions
