I am trying to create an XSD schema file from an existing XML file

  • 0

I am trying to create an XSD schema file from an existing XML file but am getting errors. Currently I am trying to use the XSD command prompt tool to generate the XSD file. Any advice on mistakes with my XML file? Or any other tools I should try instead? Here is my XML file:

<xml xmlns:s='uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882'

    A very simple way to accomplish this would be to download the 30 day trial of Altova XML Spy. It has a very nice XML to XSD feature that you can customize completely.
