XSD How To

This lesson is part of XML · All levels

Summary

The step of creating an XSD scheme starts with the root element <xs:schema> containing the XSD namespace, then declaring the element and type according to the document structure. Once the schema is complete, the XML document directs it through the xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes. Finally, documents are validated using a parser or validation tool like xmllint.

Key points

Declare the root element and its complex type
XML refers to the schema with xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="note.xsd"
Xsi:schemaLocation contains the namespace pairs URI and the location of the schema
The final validation can be with xmllint --schema or IDE
