Xsd - Defining an XML element that must be empty or decimal

To define an XML element that must be either empty or contain a decimal value in an XSD schema, you can use a combination of the xs:restriction and xs:pattern elements. Here's how you can do it:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <!-- Define the element --> <xs:element name="myElement"> <xs:simpleType> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <!-- Allow an empty value or a decimal value --> <xs:pattern value="|(\d+(\.\d+)?)"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>

In this XSD schema:

  • We define an element named myElement.
  • We define a simple type for myElement using the xs:simpleType element.
  • We restrict the base type to xs:string.
  • We use the xs:pattern element to specify a regular expression pattern.
  • The pattern |(\d+(\.\d+)?) matches either an empty value (|) or a decimal value.

This schema allows <myElement> to be either empty or contain a decimal value, but it does not enforce any specific format for the decimal. Adjust the regular expression pattern as needed to match the specific format requirements for the decimal value.
