Interface GlobalDef

All Known Implementing Classes:

AttributeGroup, BuiltInType, ComplexType, GenericType, GlobalAttribute, GlobalDeclaration, GlobalElement, ModelGroup, SimpleType

public interface GlobalDef

Interface for classes encapsulating XML Schema Elements, such as Elements, Attributes, and Type Definitions. There are two "families" of GlobalDefs: type definitions and declarations. Type definitions include GenericType, BuiltInType, SimpleType and ComplexType. Global Declarations include GlobalElement and GlobalAttributes.
