I have an xml and xsd file that both validate correctly (tested at http://xsdvalidation.utilities-online.info/).
However, the xml does not validate against the xsd. I think this is because I am incorrectly nesting complexType elements in the xsd, as compared to the xml. The outer element of people
seems to be causing the problem...
Here is the xml:
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<people>
<person>
<firstname>Joe</firstname>
<lastname>Schmoe</lastname>
</person>
<person>
<firstname>Cletus</firstname>
<lastname>Jenkins</lastname>
</person>
</people>
...and here is the xsd:
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name = "people">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name = "person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name = "firstname" type = "xs:string" />
<xs:element name = "lastname" type = "xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Add maxOccurs="unbounded"
to the element named "person". It is a sequence of one or more person elements.
Note: write maxOccurs in lowerCamelCase not in lower case
