Is that possible with xsd 1.1?
I want to switch the attributes depending on the "type" if its "A" or "B".
How can I write an XSD 1.1 syntax for this simple problem?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<node type="A" a1="asd" a2="d"/>
<node type="B" b="4" />
Yes, you can define alternative types for node
depending on the value of the type
attribute using xs:alternative
. You don't need xs:assert
in this case.
Your example seems so similar to the ones in the spec that I'm not quite sure why you are asking the question. For example:
<xs:element name="message" type="messageType">
<xs:alternative test="@kind='string'" type="messageTypeString"/>
<xs:alternative test="@kind='base64'" type="messageTypeBase64"/>
<xs:alternative test="@kind='binary'" type="messageTypeBase64"/>
<xs:alternative test="@kind='xml'" type="messageTypeXML"/>
<xs:alternative test="@kind='XML'" type="messageTypeXML"/>
<xs:alternative type="messageType"/>
</xs:element>
The following works and can be tested for the example!:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="Test"
xsi:schemaLocation="Test SceneFile.xsd">
<node mode="A" value="3"/>
<node mode="B" name="asd" a="s" asd="asd"/>
</root>
<xs:element name="root" type="root"/>
<xs:element name="node" type="node">
<xs:alternative type="node-type-A" test="@mode = 'A'"/>
<xs:alternative type="node-type-B" test="@mode = 'B'"/>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="root">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="node" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<!-- Base type -->
<xs:complexType name="node">
<xs:attribute name="mode" type="allowed-node-types"/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleType name="allowed-node-types">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="A"/>
<xs:enumeration value="B"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<!-- Type A -->
<xs:complexType name="node-type-A">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="node">
<xs:attribute name="value" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:anyAttribute />
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
<!-- Type B -->
<xs:complexType name="node-type-B">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="node">
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:anyAttribute processContents="skip"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
