I am having some issues on achieving the following in my XSD Schema. I have an XML in which a data element is found. The content of this data element can vary depending on different transformations that take place. So I can't really put one schema on it.
I just want to ignore everything inside the data element, and let it just pass the schema without errors.
My XML:
<root>
<element1>12345</element1>
<element2>abcde</element2>
<data>
<lots></lots>
<of></of>
<content></content>
</data>
</root>
In my XSD I do the following:
<xs:element name="data">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:any processContents="skip" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
I thought of using processContents skip for this problem, but somehow, that doesn't work. Does anybody know why it doesn't work, or have a better solution at hand?
Thank you!
It should work. The problem in your example is that only one element is allowed inside <data>
, since you didn't declare maxOccurs
and the default is one . If you change it to
<xs:any processContents="skip" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
it should validate.
