Jing version 20241230

This directory contains version 20241230 of Jing, a validator for RELAX NG and other schema languages.

The directory bin contains jing.jar, which contains the code for Jing, ready to use with a Java runtime. For more information on how to use Jing, see this document.

Apart from jing.jar, the bin directory contains some third-party jar files, which are used for XML parsing (under a pre-1.4 JRE that does not provide the Java XML parsing extension) and for validating with schema languages other than RELAX NG:

saxon.jar

Comes from the Saxon 6.5.5 distribution. Used for Schematron 1.5 validation.

xercesImpl.jar

xml-apis.jar

Come from the Xerces2 Java 2.9.1 distribution. Used for W3C XML Schema validation and for XML parsing. Xerces2 Java is under the Apache License Version 2.0, which requires the following notice:

The file src.zip contains the Java source code. This is for reference purposes, and doesn't contain the supporting files, such as build scripts and test cases, that are needed for working conveniently with the source code. If you want to make changes to Jing, you should check out the source code and supporting files from the project's Subversion repository.
