Nested Data XML design
- by esryl
Looking to nest (to unlimited levels) elements in XML. Like so:
<items>
<item>
<name>Item One</name>
<item>
<name>Item Two</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>Item Three</name>
<item>
<name>Item Four</name>
</item> <!-- etc... -->
</item>
</item>
</items>
However. While browsing for a solution I noticed in the comments of:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/988139/weird-nesting-in-xml
while the above is well formed it would not validate against any sinsible DTD.
Two things, what is a better way of nesting similar elements, and secondly what would be the design of the DTD.
UPDATE: Would prefer to validate against an XML Schema rather than DTD.
