XML Schema Instance Attributes
The XML Schema definition language (XSD) defines four attributes for use in XML instance documents. These attributes are in the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace. These attributes are often prefixed with xsi, although any prefix can be used and mapped to the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace URI.
The following table describes the XML Schema instance attributes.
| nil | When true, specifies that an element has missing content. |
| noNamespaceSchemaLocation | Associates a schema document that has no target namespace with an instance document. |
| schemaLocation | Associates a schema document that has a target namespace with an instance document. |
| type | Specifies the type of an element. |
