Data Mapping

Data Mapping Instructions

An XML Schema describes the structure of an XML document. This is important in order to achieve a well-formed and valid XML document. For this assignment, you will create an XML mapping Schema. You may create it in one of two ways:

1.)          By writing it in an editor of your choice, or

2.)          By reading the XML file into a string and then creating the schema from that string.  

Step 1: Use the following code to create an XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<breakfast_menu>

<food>

<name>Belgian Waffles</name>

<price>$5.95</price>

<description>

Two of our famous Belgian Waffles with plenty of real maple syrup

Step 2: Create an XML Schema. This XML file will have an .xsd extension once saved. You will need these basic elements to start off your document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

>>Your schema code goes here<<

</xs:schema>

Submit both the XML file and the .xsd file in a zipped file.
