Day 7. Creating Types in XML Schemas
Yesterday you got started with XML schemas and heard about some of the basics. Today, you're going to continue with XML schemas, getting a true working knowledge of the subject. Here's an overview of the topics covered today:
- Creating restrictions
- Creating simple types by using facets
- Using anonymous types
- Declaring empty elements
- Declaring mixed-content elements
- Declaring choices
- Grouping elements
- Grouping attributes
- Declaring all groups
- Using namespaces in schemas
- Annotating schemas
As you're going to see today, XML schemas give you many options that DTDs don't. Some of what you're going to see was designed for convenience, such as declaring element and attribute groups so you can use such groups throughout a schema; some of the things we'll talk about, such as empty elements and choices, have analogs in DTDs; and things we'll talk about today, such as anonymous types and facets, give you functionality you don't find in DTDs.
