Which command should be used to look into the validity of an XML object in Snowflake?
To check the validity of an XML object in Snowflake, you should use the PARSE_XML command. PARSE_XML parses the string and if the XML is valid, it will convert it to the XML data type; if not, it will throw an error. This helps in ensuring the validity of the XML object.
https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/functions/check_xml PREVIEW FEATURE — OPEN Enabled for all accounts. Checks the validity of an XML document. If the input string is NULL or a valid XML document, the output is NULL. In case of an XML parsing error, the output string contains the error message.
Also see this one, it has a similar purpose, but it's for JSON: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/functions/check_json. Checks the validity of a JSON document. If the input string is a valid JSON document or a NULL, the output is NULL (i.e. no error). If the input cannot be translated to a valid JSON value, the output string contains the error message.
D. The CHECK_XML () function in Snowflake can be used to check the validity of an XML document. The expression STR => string_containing_xml should evaluate to a VARCHAR that contains valid XML.
