validate nexml using the online validator tool

Usage

nexml_validate(
  file,
  schema = system.file("xsd/nexml.xsd", package = "RNeXML"),
  local = TRUE
)

Arguments

file

path to the nexml file to validate

schema

URL of schema (for fallback method only, set by default).

local

logical, if TRUE we skip the online validator and rely only on pure XML-schema validation. This may fail to detect invalid use of some semantic elements.

Value

TRUE if the file is valid, FALSE or error message otherwise

Details

Requires an internet connection if local=FALSE. see http://www.nexml.org/nexml/phylows/validator for more information in debugging invalid files

Examples

if (FALSE) {
data(bird.orders)
birds <- nexml_write(bird.orders, "birds_orders.xml")
nexml_validate("birds_orders.xml")
unlink("birds_orders.xml") # delete file to clean up
}
