Chapter 7 Defining XML Schemas

This section provides information about how to use Stylus Studio to define an XML Schema. Although some information about XML Schema tags is provided, familiarity with the W3C XML Schema Recommendation is assumed.

Many of the examples in this chapter are based on the purchaseOrder.xsd document, which is installed with other sample files in the examples\simpleMappings directory of your Stylus Studio installation directory. Consider having this file open as you read through the examples in this chapter.

This section covers the following topics:

XML Developers' Bill of Rights

Stylus Studio's pledge to fight for the rights of XML Developers, providing the most productive, innovative and value-priced XML development tools.

Translating EDIFACT Documents to XML

The EDIFACT to XML Converter is a primary component of the adapter library. The XML that is generated is well commented and indented, and can be used anywhere XML is normally used — with XML Schemas, XQuery, XSLT, and so on.

Microsoft .NET XML Tools for System.XML 1.0 and System.XML 2.0

Stylus Studio features integrated XML validation, XSLT transformation and XSLT debugging using the official Microsoft .NET XML processing components: System.XML 1.0 and System.XML 2.0.

Writing Custom XML Adapters

There are cases where the input format is too complicated for Convert to XML, or both reading and writing of the file format is needed. This section will take you through the process of writing a medium-sized adapter in Java.
