QuerySurge & XML Files
Automated validation for XML-based integrations
and enterprise data flows
XML remains a critical data format across enterprise systems.
It is widely used for B2B integrations, industry standards, legacy applications, regulatory submissions, and service-oriented architectures.
While XML is structured and expressive, its complexity, schemas, and nesting can make validation slow and error-prone when handled manually.
QuerySurge integrates directly with XML files to automate validation, reconciliation, and audit-ready reporting at scale.
Why QuerySurge + XML
XML often sits at the center of high-risk, business-critical workflows. Small issues like missing nodes, incorrect values, or schema mismatches can lead to downstreamfailures, compliance issues, or rejected transactions.
QuerySurge and XML together allow teams to:
- Validate XML files against databases, data warehouses, and other file formats
- Detect missing elements, incorrect values, and structural issues early
- Replace manual XML inspection and custom parsers with reusable validation tests
- Produce consistent, auditable proof of data accuracy and completeness
This is especially valuable in regulated industries, system-to-system integrations, and modernization projects where XML remains a key interchange format.
How the Integration Works
Connect to XML files
QuerySurge reads XML files directly from file systems, cloud storage, or integration pipelines, including deeply nested structures.
Define validation logic
Using SQL-based tests or the Query Wizard, teams define rules to validate XML elements, attributes, and hierarchies, or to compare XML data to relational sources and targets.
Automate execution
Tests can run on demand, on schedules, or automatically when new XML files are received or exchanged between systems.
Analyze results and exceptions
QuerySurge highlights record-level mismatches, missing nodes, schema violations, and rule failures with clear pass/fail results.
Report and audit
All validation results are captured with timestamps and history, supporting traceability, trend analysis, and audit requirements.
