Defining types XS or XSD - does it really matter? 1

[bazil2]

(Elementary user)

When making an XSD scheme, I define the type using xsd however I have also seen xs being used. Here is a simple extract:

<xsd:element name="adminemail" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="secondemail" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="useremail" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="totaljobs" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="printnow" type="xs:double" />
<xsd:element name="invoice_title" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="invoice_recipient" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="invoice_address_singleline" type="xsd:string" />

Can anyone please tell me if it matters which I use?

Best regards

xs or xsd arew both used by convention for the "

namespace.

Using one or another it's not important, but they have to match the namespace declaration of your schema

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
