I have an xml and xsd file that both validate correctly (tested at http://xsdvalidation.utilities-online.info/).
However, the xml does not validate against the xsd. I think this is because I am incorrectly nesting complexType elements in the xsd, as compared to the xml. The outer element of \[code\]people\[/code\] seems to be causing the problem...
Here is the xml:
\[code\]<?xml version = "1.0"?><people> <person> <firstname>Joe</firstname> <lastname>Schmoe</lastname> </person> <person> <firstname>Cletus</firstname> <lastname>Jenkins</lastname> </person></people>\[/code\]...and here is the xsd:
\[code\]<?xml version = "1.0"?><xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name = "people"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name = "person"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name = "firstname" type = "xs:string" /> <xs:element name = "lastname" type = "xs:string" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element></xs:schema>\[/code\]
