I want to define the XML schema for an XML representation of shopping order data.
See following requirements
- The XML representation of order should contain order id, description, request date, and many line item
- Each line item element should contain book, quantity, and price. Price (which is price per book) should be restricted to values greater than 0
- Each book should contain book id, book name, genre, publish date, and many authors. Genre should be restricted so that it may contain only the following values {science-fiction, mystery, thriller, drama}
- Each author should contain bio,last name, first name, and optional pen name.
Evaluation Criteria
- allows many line items
- allows many authors for a book and have an OPTIONAL pen name
- allows to specify price and restricts to values greater than 0
- allows to specify genre but restricts the list of values to be EXACTLY that state above. Please someone help me figure out XML definition for this type of nested requirements.
here's my code
XML
