商品描述

Special Edition Using XML Schema starts with an explanation of Schema basics: why they were created, the advantages they offer over DTDs, and an overview of the two major parts of the specification: Structure and Datatypes. Next, the author explains the differences between DTDs and Schemas, and demonstrates a simple DTD-to-Schema conversion. The bulk of the book explains the many parts of Schemas, dissecting the structure of a Schema and then introducing Datatypes. Each section includes practical examples, which the author creates and explains, building from the material discussed in the previous section. At the end of the book, the author demonstrates a large, real-world example Schema, showing how all the parts of Schemas interact and how readers would build XML data from the example Schema.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《特刊:使用 XML Schema》首先解釋了 Schema 的基礎知識:為什麼會創建它們、它們相對於 DTD 的優勢,以及規範的兩個主要部分:結構和數據類型的概述。接下來,作者解釋了 DTD 和 Schema 之間的差異,並演示了一個簡單的 DTD 轉換為 Schema 的過程。本書的主要部分解釋了 Schema 的許多部分,剖析了 Schema 的結構,然後介紹了數據類型。每個部分都包含實際的例子,作者創建並解釋這些例子,從前一部分討論的材料中構建。在書的末尾,作者展示了一個大型的現實世界的示例 Schema,展示了 Schema 的所有部分如何互動,以及讀者如何從示例 Schema 中構建 XML 數據。
