Difference/relationship between XML and XSD

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Correct me if i am wrong,

When we create a source and a target datatype in IR automatically objects will be created in XSD.

The same way it does when we create message type.

In message mapping, We map source and target message type and when we test with sample data, we can view source and target in xml

My question is what is the difference/relationship between XML and XSD ?

Thanks,

Hi,

Basically an XSD file defines how the XML file is going to look like.

So an XSD or Schema file, defines the structure of the XML file. So it will define what the possible fields are and what size they are going to be.

An XML file, is the file that contains the information and is created in the format of the XSD file.

Hope that this helps,

Thanks,

Miguel
