testing - XML test scripts / runners -

is there xml testing frameworks out there allow me write scripts testing/asserting contents of xml file??

note: know such frameworks exist extensions programming language testing frameworks such java , .net.

what looking having independent of programming language. write xml testing scripts in notepad , not have compile them. (something dbfit xml). see below example of looking for.

sample xml

  <parent>           <value name ="bob"/>   </parent> 

-->

sample xml test script

assert(xpath("/parent/value/@name") == 'bob'); 

you roll own solution using xslt.

here example of xslt evaluates assertion criteria , if not pass, uses xsl:message @terminate='yes' halt process , echo error message std out:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xsl/transform"     xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl" exclude-result-prefixes="xd" version="1.0">     <xsl:template match="/">         <!--assert /parent/value/@name == 'bob'-->         <xsl:if test="not(/parent/value/@name='bob')">             <!-- if not, terminate transform , fail -->             <xsl:message terminate="yes">name must bob</xsl:message>         </xsl:if>     </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> 

simply execute xslt against file(s) want validate.
