XML Schema

XML Schema, which I introduced in Chapter 8, is used to define Web Services messages. The SOAP envelope, as you saw in Chapter 9, uses XML Schema types as the basis for its data encoding mechanism. XML Schema is also ideally suited for use in distributed applications because it guarantees that an XML request generated by a client will meet all the constraints required by the server that processes the request.
