Almost there. In your predicate, you want a relative path, so change ./book[/author/name=”John”] to either ./book[author/name=”John”] or ./book[./author/name=”John”] and you will match your element. Your current predicate goes back to the root of the document to look for an author.
I use this rule of thumb: An Attribute is something that is self-contained, i.e., a color, an ID, a name.

I would have done something like: EDIT: Updated the original example based on feedback … Read more

After some research, I think the best answer is Xerces, as it implements all of XSD, is cross-platform and widely used. I’ve created a small Java project on github to validate from the command line using the default JRE parser, which is normally Xerces. This can be used on Windows/Mac/Linux. There is also a C++ … Read more

Like ‘xmlns’ is wrong, it should be xmlns:android 2) First node needs to contain: xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” 3) If you are integrating AdMob, check custom parameters like ads:adSize, you need xmlns:ads=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads” 4) If you … Read more
The standalone declaration is a way of telling the parser to ignore any markup declarations in the DTD. The DTD is thereafter used for validation only. As an example, consider the humble <img> tag. If you look at the XHTML 1.0 DTD, you see a markup declaration telling the parser that <img> tags must be … Read more
