Using Schemas
This section contains code examples for common tasks associated with using schemas.
Using XSD schemas
The IDocumentSpec Interface interface represents a document shape defined by an XML Schema definition language (XSD) schema; the shape is rooted by a top-level element of the XSD. After the schema is installed, it can be retrieved by calling the IPipelineContext.GetDocumentSpecByType Method or IPipelineContext.GetDocumentSpecByName Method methods in the IPipelineContext interface.
IDocumentSpec docspec = pipeineContext.GetDocumentSpecByType("myschema#root");
Using XSD flat file schemas
Both the GetDocumentSpecByType and GetDocumentSpecByName methods return the IDocumentSpec interface. If the schema is actually a flat file schema (one that has additional flat file-specific annotations), you can typecast the IDocumentSpec into IFFDocumentSpec and initiate parsing and serializing sequences from there.
IFFDocumentSpec docspec = (IFFDocumentSpec) pipeineContext.GetDocumentSpecByType("myschema#root");
