directory provide a lesser degree of validation than those in the
with_validations
directory.
The schemas of the
without_validations
projects define all fields as optional. Nevertheless, the parsers check for mandatory data.
The parsers use the
optional
property to implement the validation. If a field is mandatory according to the EDIFACT standard, the
optional
property of the corresponding anchor is false. If a mandatory field is missing, this causes the parser to fail. In that case, the parser does not generate XML output. The event log reports the failure.
