XML Schema Tutorial

XML Schema is an XML-based alternative to DTDs.

An XML Schema describes the structure of an XML document.

The XML Schema language is also referred to as XML Schema Definition (XSD).

In this tutorial you will learn how to read and create XML Schemas, why XML Schemas are more powerful than DTDs, and how to use the XML Schema language in your application.
