“XML Schema 1.1 has gone from strong data typing to positively stalwart—so powerful it can enforce database level constraints and business rules, so your data transfer code won’t have to. This book covers the 1.1 changes—and more—in its 500 revisions to Priscilla Walmsley’s 10-year best-selling classic. It’s the guide you need to navigate XML Schema’s complexity—and master its power!”

—Charles F. Goldfarb

For Ten Years the World’s Favorite Guide to XML Schema—Now Extensively Revised for Version 1.1 and Today’s Best Practices!

To leverage XML’s full power, organizations need shared vocabularies based on XML Schema. For a full decade, Definitive XML Schema has been the most practical, accessible, and usable guide to working with XML Schema. Now, author Priscilla Walmsley has thoroughly updated her classic to fully reflect XML Schema 1.1, and to present new best practices for designing successful schemas.

Priscilla helped create XML Schema as a member of the W3C XML Schema Working Group, so she is well qualified to explain the W3C recommendation with insight and clarity. Her book teaches practical techniques for writing schemas to support any application, including many new use cases. You’ll discover how XML Schema 1.1 provides a rigorous, complete specification for modeling XML document structure, content, and datatypes; and walk through the many aspects of designing and applying schemas, including composition, instance validation, documentation, and namespaces. Then, building on the fundamentals, Priscilla introduces powerful advanced techniques ranging from type derivation to identity constraints. This edition’s extensive new coverage includes

Many new design hints, tips, and tricks – plus a full chapter on creating an enterprise strategy for schema development and maintenance
Design considerations in creating schemas for relational and object-oriented models, narrative content, and Web services
An all-new chapter on assertions
Coverage of new 1.1 features, including overrides, conditional type assignment, open content and more
Modernized rules for naming and design
Substantially updated coverage of extensibility, reuse, and versioning
And much more

If you’re an XML developer, architect, or content specialist, with this Second Edition you can join the tens of thousands who rely on Definitive XML Schema for practical insights, deeper understanding, and solutions that work.

My XML Schema Book

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I’m a Software Developer and I’ve written many XSD files but it’s not a task I enjoy. I recently had to write another XSD file using nothing but source code written in a language I had never seen. When I was done, I was proud of my 1000+ line XSD file. Afterward, I questioned whether or not the XSD file was up to standard. We have the first edition of this book at work so I ordered this 2nd version. I’m the cover-to-cover type and as I progressed through the book’s exercises, I kept looking back at (and improving) my last XSD file.

This book has shown me that I could be getting so much more information into and out of applications. Here are the main reasons that I gave the book 5 stars:

1. Font: Basic stuff like this can kill a book. This book’s font is large and clear enough to read comfortably.

2. Structure: The book is laid out in a logical fashion that makes it easy for someone to read cover-to-cover instead of simply using it as a reference book.

3. Authoritative: The author has established a reputation as an XML schema expert and her books have been among the top rated for many years. If you’re a computer / IT professional of any kind, don’t make the common mistake of buying an introductory book to learn from and simply leave a book like this on the shelf as your “Definitive Reference”. This is the only book you require so save your money. Don’t be intimidated by a 700+ page book on the exciting world of XML schema (lol). It’s an easier read than you think, trust me. On the other hand, beginners rarely profit from my advice.

4. Accurate: Typos are an endanger species.

5. Emphasis on Design: This is where I had been cutting corners. Throughout the book there are sections titled ‘Design Hints’ that point out key design considerations. Furthermore, she dedicated chapters 21, 22, and 23 to design topics. Anyone can knock out a simple XSD file but to get the most functionality out of it, you need to design it properly. Introductory books like ‘XML Visual Quick Start Guide’ by Goldberg won’t give you that level of insight.

That’s about as good as a book on XML schema is going to get.

Good Book Unusuable Kindle Format

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

My review primarily pertains to the Kindle version of this product. It's practically useless in its current form. To process this kind of content, you have to move back and forth between many pages to put all the pieces together. The code examples often span multiple pages and so you have to read a little of the narrative and pan across multiple pages to see the sample content and then pan back several pages to continue the narrative. I needed the content in a hurry so I thought I could overlook the formatting issues described by others. You are not permitted to print pages from the Kindle to overcome these barriers. I feel like a hostage with no way to utilize what I paid for. After multiple attempts to glean information from it, I have lost hope and consider it a complete waste of money. I will probably purchase the printed book because the content appears to be highly valuable, if it is in a consumable format. I suspect I will rate the printed version quite high. If you need this content, purchase the printed version and make do with online resources until it arrives.

Excellent XML Schema Reference

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

I could not have implemented my contribution to the Apache XML Schema project without this book. My contribution walks an XML document and determines how its structure maps to its corresponding XML Schema. This book was very helpful as reference to understand XML Schema document structures and how they apply to tags in an XML document. It was very helpful to help me understand how global vs. local elements and attributes are merged together, how complex & simple types can be extended and restricted, and how namespaces in wildcard elements and attributes work. It is one of the better references I've read in years!

Another One Over My Head

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013

I'm trying to learn XML (to teach myself). Doesn't look like it's going to happen. I don't think this book was written for a novice. It might be a great supplement for someone who's already halfway there, but I cannot recommend it for a beginner.

A Heady Subject - Well Treated.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 2018

The book is well organised whether for reading it all through or more importantly as a reference. As with all technical languages, the subject matter does not make for easy reading - this book certainly goes some way to make it approachable.

Bestes Buch

Reviewed in Germany on January 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

Das Buch behandelt XML Schema inkl. Version 1.1 im Detail.

Es ist absolut übersichtlich und auch die Bespiele passen, sofern natürlich entsprechende XML-Grundkenntnisse vorliegen.

Hatte auch andere Bücher, nutze aber nur noch dieses.

Erklärt auch sehr schön noch einmal die Themen Namespaces. Daneben natürlich auch Unions, Assertions, Named Groups, Versionierung und mehr.

Auch den DTD-Umsteigern werden bedient, wobei die Verweise aus meiner Sicht nicht zu umfangreich sind.

Eines der besten Bücher, die ich als Softwareentwickler bisher gelesen habe.
