XSD - Provide concrete XSD that XML Documents can Validated against

[JimWeier-VeteransUnited]

If the XML specification is only intended to be an "Abstract" data type, and not a concrete Implementation, It be nice to Create a Standard XSD that can Validate any given XML to See If it Adheres to the Concrete Implementation of a cloud event
CloudEvent.txt, rename this to .xsd - I couldnt upload a .XSD file

Hi @JimWeier-VeteransUnited

At one point we did work on a schema as a part of the XML Format but it turned out to be more productive (for us at least) to work with an expected wire-format while we hashed it out - we followed a similar model for the JSON Format as it turns out.

It's always been a goal to provide a schema so I think it's worthwhile leaving this issue open until that has been done.

I'll try taking a crack at this soon (@jskeet)

Attached File May be a good starting point, If you want other input, let me know, I have been with XML and XSD for over 20 years

@JemDay @jskeet time to close?

[jskeet]

Fine by me - we really need to get back to the XML format at some point, mind you...

[duglin]

Did you just volunteer ? 🤣

[rob-sessink-kramp]

I would be willing to help out here in defining a XSD.
