XML Schema 1.0

Schema for schemas (XSD files)

Check an .xsd file itself against the W3C schema for schemas.

Validate with this schema Try it with the example

About

The schema for schemas describes the XML of an XSD document: which xs: elements exist and where they may appear.

Good to know

  • This catches structural mistakes only. References to undefined types, duplicate names and other constraints are found when the schema is compiled: choose your .xsd as the schema in the validator to see those errors.
  • The example is by xmlvalid.com.
