DTD vs. XML Schema

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new dept.

AShocka writes "The W3C XML Schema Working Group has released the first public Working Draft of Requirements for XML Schema 1.1. Schemas are technology for specifying and constraining the structure of XML documents. The draft adds functionality and clarifies the XML Schema Recommendation Part 1 and Part 2. The XML Schema Valid FAQ highlights development issues and resources using XML Schema. This article at webmasterbase.com addresses the XML DTDs Vs XML Schema issue. Also see the W3C Conversion Tool from DTD to XML Schema and other XML Schema/DTD Editors."

    dammit, right after I buy a book to finally learn XML in detail, they change the standards. :P

    Honestly, I believe that xml is just a nice way to replace INI files and CSV files. Seems to be about it really. The odd business may use xml for b2b.

    And XHTML really bites. You can tell the w3c doesn't listen.

  4. If or When? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    When you bend over to take the latest XML Schema, don't forget your SOAP.

    I have no DTD... I lost it in the W3C STD repository. If you've seen it, PGP me the URL or the LIT. IANAL, but IMHO TATMA... never forget, TINSTAAFL... LAV REA ASDJKON AJSKNMJM. HTML rules...

  6. Shouldn't that be "schemata"? by Charles+Dodgeson · · Score: 3, Funny

    When I was in school, the plural of "schema" was "schemata".

    I've already selected "No Karma Bonus". Beyond that I can't mod myself downward.

  7. Who needs PXML when you got HTML? by tomzyk · · Score: 3, Funny

    HTML is a subset of XML - an alternative to the bloated XMl language.

    believe me, you wont use XML (and those pesky XSLTs) anymore if you once tried HTML

    AND (most importantly) in virtually every single web browser that you can find, support for viewing this format over the internet is available and built into the browser itself!
