Name

xs:all(within a group) — Compositor describing an unordered group of elements. The number of occurrences cannot be defined when xs:all is used within a group.

Synopsis

<xs:all           
           id          = xs:ID
           {any attributes with non-schema namespace}
           >
           Content: (xs:annotation?, xs:element*)
</xs:all>

May be included in: xs:group (definition)

Description

Used within a group, xs:all has the same meaning as when it is used directly under xs:complexType, except that the minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes have completely disappeared (i.e., it cannot be marked as optional).

Restrictions

The restrictions that apply to xs:all apply to the group embedding the xs:all compositor. This group cannot have a number of occurrences greater than one and cannot be used as a particle. It must be included directly under xs:complexType, xs:restriction, or xs:extension.

All other restrictions of xs:all apply here.

Example

<xs:group name="authorSubElements">
  <xs:all>
    <xs:element ref="name"/>
    <xs:element ref="born"/>
    <xs:element ref="dead" minOccurs="0"/>
  </xs:all>
</xs:group>
