Help needed with XML Node insert API

[Kumar]

Hi All

I have to add elements to an existing XML Document which conforms to a
DTD.

Is there an some API which throws an exception when I append a node to
this document if it is not a valid location or element based on the
DTD.

My DTD is very specific on sequence of elements.

Since I have to insert many elements it is not an option for me to
insert all elements and at the end run validate on the document.

Thanks
kumar

I think the W3C DOM Level 3 which is currently being worked on attempts
to provide such an API

I don't know whether there are any early implementations.
