? XSD Text-Only Elements in XML Schema

In XSD, when you want an element to contain only text content (no child elements or attributes), you define it as a simple type, often just using built-in types like xs:string, xs:integer, etc.

? Simple Text-Only Element Example

<xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>

This means <title> contains only text.

? Complex Type with Text Only (Mixed = false)

If you want an element with only text, no child elements or attributes, define as a simple element or complex type without children:

<xs:element name="description">  <xs:simpleType>    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">      <xs:maxLength value="200"/>    </xs:restriction>  </xs:simpleType></xs:element>

? Example Schema with Text-Only Elements

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">  <xs:element name="note" type="xs:string"/>  <xs:element name="summary">    <xs:simpleType>      <xs:restriction base="xs:string">        <xs:minLength value="10"/>        <xs:maxLength value="100"/>      </xs:restriction>    </xs:simpleType>  </xs:element></xs:schema>

? Valid XML

<note>Hello world!</note><summary>This is a summary text with proper length.</summary>

Summary

• Use simple types for text-only elements.

• You can add restrictions like length or pattern to control the text.

• Elements with child elements are complex types, not text-only.
