Description
RELAX NG defines a schema language for describing XML document structures. RELAX NG has a mathematical basis similar to regular expressions, making it easy to process, as well as both an XML-based syntax and a human-friendly compact syntax. RELAX NG defines only structural components; for datatyping, RELAX NG schemas typically depend on W3C XML Schema.
