Viewing Sample XML

You can view a sample of the XML represented by a node in the XML Schema Diagram tab. For example, here is a sample of the XML represented by the purchaseOrder element in purchaseOrder.xsd.

Figure 276. Sample of XML Based on XML Schema

If you want, you can create a new XML document based on this fragment by clicking the Open as New Document button.

Note

 

If the XML Schema contains an element defined using a built-in type, the instance of that element in the XML document is created using the minimum value of the range specified for that type. For example, if the XML Schema contains a <part> element defined as type="xs:integer", the <part> element in the resulting XML document appears as <part>-9223372036854775808</part>.

To view sample XML:
1. In the Diagram tab, select the node for which you want to see sample XML.
2. Select Diagram > View XML Sample from the Stylus Studio menu.

Alternative: Select View XML Sample from the node's shortcut menu (right-click to display).

The View Sample XML dialog box appears. (See Figure 276.)

3. If you want to open this sample as a new XML document in Stylus Studio, click the Open as a New Document button. Otherwise, click Close Preview.
