Now I'm validating an XML
like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<all>
<allElem>
<a>12345</a>
<b>2</b>
<c>3</c>
<d>
<d1>4</d1>
<d2>5</d2>
<d3>6</d3>
</d>
<d>
<d1>7</d1>
<d2>8</d2>
<d3>9</d3>
</d>
</allElem>
</all>
I wrote a simple XSD
like this:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="all">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="allElem" maxOccurs="1">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="a" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="b" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="c" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="d" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="d1" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="d2" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="d3" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
My question is: I'm using xs:sequence
, but I don't want my xml element to be ordered, I can't use xs:all, because it only allow element occurs once max, but my xml element "d" should be able to appear more than once. Is there a solution in xsd that I can define an unordered element appears once or appears many times? In other words, I want to know is there such an xsd tag that can define unordered elements which can appear more than once.
In XSD 1.0:
you can use xs:all in place of xs:sequence, but then each element can only appear (0 or 1) times.
you can use xs:choice with minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=unbounded, but then each element can appear any number of times
In XSD 1.1:
XSD 1.1 is currently available in Xerces (beta version) and Saxon (current release Saxon-EE 9.5).
