XML defintion

Is there any way we can replicate language "c" enum in XML schema? for
example

enum
{
GREEN =1001,
YELLOW
RED
}

so in c once you refer GREEN it means 1001. Do we have anything like
this in XML schema?

No I have to define like this and I have no way to assign value to
individual element.
<xsd:simpleType name="floodEnum">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="unicast"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="multicast"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="broadcast"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="all"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Hi Yasar,

Is there any way we can replicate language "c" enum in XML schema? for
example

enum
{
GREEN =1001,
YELLOW
RED
}

so in c once you refer GREEN it means 1001. Do we have anything like
this in XML schema?

XML Schema describes what will be allowed in XML instances. It can either
be GREEN (e.g., as a string) or 1001 (as an integer). The fact that GREEN
means 1001 is an application-specific logic. So I suggest that you simply
translate enum symbols to numbers (or to C enumerators) in your
application. Though this can be a major inconvenience if you are using
XML data binding and the tool generates C/C++ enums that start from 0.
