XML Schema Designer

The XML Schema Designer (XSD Designer) is a graphical tool that allows you to visualize a schema set at different levels of abstraction. The following are the main components of the XSD Designer:

• XML Schema Explorer enables you to browse and navigate the XML Schema tree and perform searches.

• The Start View is the launching point for the XSD Designer; from the Start View, you can navigate to other views of the XSD Designer and see the details of your schema set.

• The Graph View enables you to see an overview of a schema set and the relationships between the schema nodes.

• The Content Model View provides a graphical representation of the details of local and global schema nodes, including simple and complex types, elements, groups, attributes, and attribute groups.
