There's no standard API for doing this, you need to look in the specifications of the product you are using. If you're using Saxon as the schema validator, you can load a schema using the method Configuration.addSchemaSource() You can then locate an element declaration using Configuration.getElementDeclaration() You can get the type of an element declaration using ElementDecl.getType() You can get the particles (i.e. child elements) of a complex type using UserComplexType.getExtendedParticle(), casting to a Compositor if appropriate, then using iterateParticles() You can get the attributes permitted by a complex type using UserComplexType.getExtendedAttributeGroup() Please note that a schema does not define a "root" element - any of the global element declarations can define a possible root element.
