[xsd-users] Ignoring unknown elements

[Henry Dornemann]

Is there some way to ignore unknown elements while parsing an XML document?

The situation that I have is the xsd schema file is provided by a 3rd party and I utilize xsd to generate code to parse this.  The 3rd party will extend their schema with new versions and this breaks our ability to parse the documents even though I only care about the already known elements and not the new elements that are added in the new version.

What's worse here is that this condition doesn't even generate a parsing error, we just get a partially populated object and don't even realize that there was something wrong with the input document

I found a previous question on this same topic

but I don't see any resolution from it; was any command line option added to avoid breaking out of the element parsing loop?


Thanks
-Henry
