What is the difference between XML and XSD?

Question

What is the difference between Extensible Markup Language (XML) and XML Schema (XSD)?

Answer 1

SIMPLE XML EXAMPLE:

  John
  Smith

XSD OF ABOVE XML(Explained):

Here:

xs:element : Defines an element.

xs:sequence : Denotes child elements only appear in the order mentioned.

xs:complexType : Denotes it contains other elements.

xs:simpleType : Denotes they do not contain other elements.

type: string, decimal, integer, boolean, date, time,

• In simple words, xsd is another way to represent and validate XML data with the specific type.

• With the help of extra attributes, we can perform multiple operations.

• Performing any task on xsd is simpler than xml.
