XML Schema list Element


XML Schema Reference Complete XML Schema Reference

Definition and Usage

The list element defines a simple type element as a list of values of a specified data type.

Element Information

  • Parent elements: simpleType

Syntax

<list
id=ID 
itemType=QName 
any attributes
>
(annotation?,(simpleType?))
</list>

(The ? sign declares that the element can occur zero or one time inside the list element)

Attribute Description
id Optional. Specifies a unique ID for the element
itemType

Specifies the name of a built-in data type or simpleType element defined in this or another schema. This attribute is not allowed if the content contains a simpleType element, otherwise it is required

any attributes Optional. Specifies any other attributes with non-schema namespace

Example 1

The following example shows a simple type that is a list of integers:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="intvalues" type="valuelist">
<xs:simpleType name="valuelist">
  <xs:list itemType="xs:integer"/>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:schema>

The "intvalues" element in a document could look like this (notice that the list will have five list items):

<intvalues>100 34 56 -23 1567</intvalues>

Note: White space is treated as the list item separator!

Example 2

The following example shows a simple type that is a list of strings:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="stringvalues" type="valuelist">
<xs:simpleType name="valuelist">
  <xs:list itemType="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:schema>

The "stringvalues" element in a document could look like this (notice that the list will have four list items):

<stringvalues>I love XML Schema</stringvalues>

Web Load and Performance Testing   

WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications. In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, it is designed to minimize the learning curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation. WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported. Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
