| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| id | Optional. Specifies a unique ID for the element |
| name | Optional. Specifies a name for the element. This attribute is required if the parent element is the schema element |
| ref | Optional. Refers to the name of another element. The ref attribute can include a namespace prefix. This attribute cannot be used if the parent element is the schema element |
| type | Optional. Specifies either the name of a built-in data type, or the name of a simpleType or complexType element |
| substitutionGroup | Optional. Specifies the name of an element that can be substituted with this element. This attribute cannot be used if the parent element is not the schema element |
| default | Optional. Specifies a default value for the element (can only be used if the element's content is a simple type or text only) |
| fixed | Optional. Specifies a fixed value for the element (can only be used if the element's content is a simple type or text only) |
| form | Optional. Specifies the form for the element. "unqualified" indicates that this element is not required to be qualified with the namespace prefix. "qualified" indicates that this element must be qualified with the namespace prefix. The default value is the value of the elementFormDefault attribute of the schema element. This attribute cannot be used if the parent element is the schema element |
| maxOccurs | Optional. Specifies the maximum number of times this element can occur in the parent element. The value can be any number >= 0, or if you want to set no limit on the maximum number, use the value "unbounded". Default value is 1. This attribute cannot be used if the parent element is the schema element |
| minOccurs | Optional. Specifies the minimum number of times this element can occur in the parent element. The value can be any number >= 0. Default value is 1. This attribute cannot be used if the parent element is the schema element |
| nillable | Optional. Specifies whether an explicit null value can be assigned to the element. True enables an instance of the element to have the null attribute set to true. The null attribute is defined as part of the XML Schema namespace for instances. Default is false |
| abstract | Optional. Specifies whether the element can be used in an instance document. True indicates that the element cannot appear in the instance document. Instead, another element whose substitutionGroup attribute contains the qualified name (QName) of this element must appear in this element's place. Default is false |
| block | Optional. Prevents an element with a specified type
of derivation from being used in place of this element. This value can
contain #all or a list that is a subset of extension, restriction, or
equivClass:
|
| final | Optional. Sets the default value of the final attribute on
the element element. This attribute cannot be used if the parent
element is not the schema element. This value can contain #all or a list
that is a subset of extension or restriction:
|
| any attributes | Optional. Specifies any other attributes with non-schema namespace |
Exemple 1
L'exemple suivant est un schéma avec quatre éléments simples nommés "fname", "lname", "age" et "dateborn", qui sont de type string, nonNegativeInteger et date :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="fname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="lname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="age" type="xs:nonNegativeInteger"/>
<xs:element name="dateborn" type="xs:date"/>
</xs:schema>
Exemple 2
L'exemple suivant est un schéma avec un élément nommé "note" qui est d'un type complexe. L'élément "note" contient quatre autres éléments simples ; "à", "de", "en-tête" et "corps":
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="note">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Exemple 3
Cet exemple est assez similaire à l'exemple 2, mais ici nous avons choisi d'utiliser l'attribut ref pour faire référence aux noms d'éléments :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="note">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="to"/>
<xs:element ref="from"/>
<xs:element ref="heading"/>
<xs:element ref="body"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:schema>
