    1. An XML Schema describes the structure of an XML document.

    2. The purpose of an XML Schema is to define the legal building blocks of an XML
    document, just like a DTD.
    3. XML Schema is an XML-based alternative to DTD.
    4. XML Schemas are much more powerful than DTDs.
    5. The XML Schema language is also referred to as XML Schema Definition (XSD).
    XML Schema Example
    <?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>

    An XML Schema:

    It defines elements that can appear in a document


    It defines attributes that can appear in a document
    It defines which elements are child elements
    It defines the order of child elements
    It defines the number of child elements
    It defines whether an element is empty or can include text
    It defines data types for elements and attributes
    It defines default and fixed values for elements and attributes

    Soruce:

    Shiporder.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <shiporder orderid="4364"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="shiporder.xsd">
    <orderperson>Krishnan</orderperson>
    <shipto>
    <name>SMIT College</name>
    <address>Muthu Nagar</address>
    <city>Chennai</city>
    <country>India</country>
    </shipto>
    <item>
    <title>JSP Begins</title>
    <note>Special Edition</note>
    <quantity>1</quantity>
    <price>110.90</price>
    </item>
    <item>
    <title>Web Technology</title>
    <quantity>1</quantity>
    <price>59.90</price>
    </item>
    </shiporder>
    The XML document above consists of a root element, "shiporder", that contains a required
    attribute called "orderid". The "shiporder" element contains three different child elements:
    "orderperson", "shipto" and "item". The "item" element appears twice, and it contains a "title", an
    optional "note" element, a "quantity", and a "price" element.
    The line above: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tells the XML
    parser that this document should be validated against a schema. The line: xsi: noNamespace
    SchemaLocation="shiporder.xsd" specifies WHERE the schema resides (here it is in the same
    folder as "shiporder.xml").

    shiporder.xsd

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

    Output:

    XSL/XSLT

    XSL stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language, and is a style sheet language for XML
    documents.
    XSLT stands for XSL Transformations.XSLT to transform XML documents into other
    formats, like XHTML.

    Element
    The <xsl:template> Element
    A template contains rules to apply when a specified node is matched
    The <xsl:value-of> Element
    Extract the value of a selected node
    The <xsl:for-each> Element
    Select every XML element of a specified node-set with the <xsl:for-each> element
    The <xsl:sort> Element
    Sort the output in a node-set
    The <xsl:if> Element
    Put a conditional test against the content of an XML file
    The <xsl:choose> Element
    This example will add a pink background-color to the "Name" column WHEN the price of the
    CLASS is higher than 10:
    The <xsl:apply-templates> Element
    Apply templates to elements
