XML Schema Definition (XSD) Structure and Node Hierarchy

An XSD (XML Schema Definition) is a schema language used in SAP Integration Suite to define the structure and data types of XML-based messages. Developers work with XSD artifacts — such as Data Types and Message Types — to model node hierarchies that describe the shape of payloads exchanged in integration flows. In the Tutorial: Editing Data Type & Message Type Artifacts, developers can create and modify XSD nodes, set cardinality, and assign built-in XML data types to elements and attributes within a structured tree editor.
