The XML Schema Complete Reference

With the successful implementation of XML Schema, developers are learning how to increase productivity, improve software reliability, minimize development time, and decrease time to market. This in-depth reference is an all-in-one resource designed to help developers leverage the power and potential of XML schemas by offering a complete roadmap to their creation, design, and use. This authoritative reference and tutorial is filled with practical insights and detailed examples. The book begins by providing a conceptual introduction to XML Schema. From there, coverage shifts to the W3C Schema Recommendation and how to apply schemas to specific business goals. The authors provide insight and instruction throughout on integrating XML schemas into existing technologies such as .NET, Java, Visual Basic, Oracle, and more. The book concludes with a complete case study designed to reinforce and illustrate material covered. Additional topics include: Applications for schemas Simple and complex types XML schema processing and validation Namespaces in XML Using schemas with DOM and SAX XML schema document syntax XML Information Sets XML Schema applications of XPath Whether designing a schema from scratch or integrating schemas into contemporary technologies, The XML Schema Complete Reference is the most complete and definitive sourcebook available for the XML Schema environment. 0672323745B08162002 Annotation The definitive single-source reference for designing, building, and using advanced XML Schema applications!-- Authored by members of the W3C XML working group and leading practitioners.-- Extensive examples for Java, C++, SQL, VB, Web services, and both Oracle and Microsoft databases.-- Includes detailed coverage of using XML Schema to build Web services and data-oriented Web sites. This book is designed to help developers leverage the full power of XML Schema using whatever tools and approaches they're most comfortable with. Rather than forcing XML developers down a single path, the authors give them practical insights and sample code for making informed choices. Their detailed examples demonstrate every feature incorporated in the W3C XML Schema Recommendation, while offering practical guidance on integrating XML Schema into many popular platforms, including.NET, Java, and Oracle.
