What is an XML Schema?

The purpose of an XML Schema is to define the legal building blocks of an XML document, just like a DTD.

An XML Schema:

    defines elements that can appear in a document
    defines attributes that can appear in a document
    defines which elements are child elements
    defines the order of child elements
    defines the number of child elements
    defines whether an element is empty or can include text
    defines data types for elements and attributes
    defines default and fixed values for elements and attributes

[lilly1236]

An XML schema is a description of a type of XML document, typically expressed in terms of constraints on the structure and content of documents of that type, above and beyond the basic syntactical constraints imposed by XML itself. These constraints are generally expressed using some combination of grammatical rules governing the order of elements, Boolean predicates that the content must satisfy, data types governing the content of elements and attributes, and more specialized rules such as uniqueness and referential integrity constraints.

The XML Schema definition language enables you to define the structure and data types for XML documents. An XML Schema defines the elements, attributes, and data types that conform to the W3C Structures Recommendation for the XML Schema Definition Language.

There are other paid alternatives, which offer graphical XML and XSD Editing, for more hands on development tasks. For tasks which involve large amounts of XML Editing, I'd recommend purchasing some quality software.
