Project Elements and XML Structure

  • Article

This section contains information about the Project element and the children of Project defined in the Microsoft Office Project 2007 XML Data Interchange Schema (mspdi_pj12.xsd). The elements represent project data when you save a project in the XML format.

XML Structure of Project Elements

The following shows the XML structure of the elements defined by the Project schema section of mspdi_pj12.xsd. The data type is indicated for those elements that require a text value. You can find more detailed information about valid text values for each element in the documentation annotations that are embedded in the XML Schema for the Project Element.

For more information about the data types used in the Project 2007 XML Data Interchange Schema, see Introduction to Project XML Data.

Note

Detailed information about the structure of the OutlineCodes, WBSMasks, ExtendedAttributes, Calendars, Tasks, Resources, and Assignments elements are shown in separate topics in this schema reference.
