N the, you saw the rudiments of template-building and validation with CAM. This part of the series presents a much more detailed comparison between XML Schema and CAM.
A fully featured XML Development Studio: - Graphical and Text based XML Schema Editor - XSD and XML Validation - XPath Expression builder - Web Service Explorer - Intellisense for XML and XSD documents - Syntax Highlighting - XML Formatting - Html Docs From XSD Schema - XML Diff Tool - XSLT Editor - CSS Editor - Fully compliant with the XSD standard - FastInfoset Import/Export - JSON Import.
Schema Validation Because XML Schema is well-established, the tools for designing schema are considerably richer.

Shows a graphical representation of the purchase order schema (see ) rendered by Liquid XML Studio.
Note that it's far easier to grasp the structure of the schema from the graphical rendering than by reading the XSD file!. Purchase Order Schema: This graphical rendering provides a much more intuitive view of the schema file than viewing the file contents directly.
