Difference/relationship between XML and XSD

[#1]

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,

ss

Hi,

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a W3C initiative that allows information and services to be encoded with meaningful structure and semantics that computers and humans can understand. XML is great for information exchange, and can easily be extended to include user-specified and industry-specified tags.

Whereas

An XML Schema Definition (XSD) is an instance of an XML schema written in the XML Schema language. An XSD defines a type of XML document in terms of constraints upon what elements and attributes may appear, their relationship to each other, what types of data may be in them, and other things. It can be used with validation software in order to ascertain whether a particular XML document is of that type, and to produce a Post-Schema Validation Infoset.

I hope this clarifies.
