Describing and validating XML Documents Using XML Schema

Why This Course?

.
.
.

XML documents have been validated using the Document Type Definition (DTD) language. DTD, however, left a lot to be desired. The XML schema Definition Language (XSDL) is a new way to describing and validating XML documents that overcomes the limitations and shortcomings of DTD. This course teaches the concepts and principles underlying the XML Schema technology and prepares its learners to start using XML schema to validate XML documents. No prior DTD experience is necessary.
