I need to do a validation of data coming from an XML, how can I use a Validation Request ?
Or Validation Request only serves data coming from a form?

You can not directly use the Request Validation of Laravel 5, but you can use Validator
with any array . You must first read the XML content.
<?php
public function validate(){
$xml = '<book>
<author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
<title>XML Developer\'s Guide</title>
<genre>Computer</genre>
<price>44.95</price>
<publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
<description>An in-depth look at creating applications with XML.</description>
</book>';
// Rotina para extrair os dados do XML
$xmlData = (array) simplexml_load_string($xml);
$rules = [
'author' => 'string|required',
'title' => 'string|required',
'genre' => 'string',
'price' => 'numeric',
'publish_date' => 'date',
'description' => 'string'
];
if (Validator::make($xmlData, $rules)){
return $xmlData;
}
return 'XML Invalido :(';
}
