Re: [xml-dev] XML Message Interface Documention Methods

Thanks all.  But how would I actually present the xsd or schema in a user friendly format for newbies that just know how to send messages...i.e. in some dumbed down html format?  Kind of like what a web service interface definition looks like when displayin the xml of what xml message format the service will accept?

You'll get a variety of answers on this from XML-DEV participants, but I would offer XML Schema (which is the same as XSD) as one choice.

Subject: [xml-dev] XML Message Interface Documention Methods

Can somebody tell me a good way to document an xml message interface from scratch.  That is,  I have the following message format (something that is similar in nature):

<SomeMsgRequest>
  <RequiredElement/>
  <OptionalElement/>
</SomeMsgRequest>

And need a good way document the message and what tags are required and which are optional.
Are there any tools out there that can help with this...possibly using an xsd or schema?

Any information is very much appreciated.

Thanks!
