XML Schema is an XML based alternative to DTD.
An XML schema describes the structure of an XML document.
The XML Schema language is also referred to as XML Schema Definition (XSD).
What is an XML Schema?
The purpose of an XML Schema is to define the legal building blocks of an XML document, just like a DTD.
An XML Schema:
defines elements that can appear in a document
defines attributes that can appear in a document
defines which elements are child elements
defines the order of child elements
defines the number of child elements
defines whether an element is empty or can include text
defines data types for elements and attributes
defines default and fixed values for elements and attributes
