Document Type Definition lets you define strict rules for XML data, ensuring consistency and improving information quality and reliability.
The Document Type Definition (DTD) acts as a blueprint for structuring and validating XML documents. DTD editing involves defining elements and their attributes, specifying content models that dictate how elements nest within each other, and setting constraints on data types to ensure information adheres to a specific format. DTD editing tools typically offer visual or code-based editing options, allowing developers to tailor the DTD to precisely define the allowable structure and content of their XML data.
Several structured document tools offer DTD Editing including:
- Oxygen XML Editor Professional by Syncro Soft facilitates DTD creation and editing with code and visual options for defining elements, attributes, and content models.
- Altova XMLSpy Professional XML Editor enables comprehensive DTD editing, including graphical editing tools and validation functionalities.
