Re: Fwd:  Not using mixed content? Then don't use XML
Schemas are an excellent source for mining test cases (good luck trying that with JSON) plus if you shift your paradigm a bit an Examplotron schema gives you a heck of alot of test cases for very little cost and it is alot more effective than some of the approaches to testing XML apps out there.

Good luck trying to use JSON for that.

Perhaps if you are trying to respond to a flexible environment where
data structures are allowed to change to a changing set of criteria or
stimuli.

But if you have a schema that, say, reflects general accounting
principles that are adopted (or mandated; or even legislated), there can
be benefit in treating the schema as sacrosanct and going through hoops
with your data to match the schema.


http://uk.gov tax submissions are an example Ken.


Of no interest which came first, an instance or the schema,
but they are needed in many scenarios, but Simons not listening.
