RELAX NG : Java Glossary

A language for describing XML file layouts. It allows more precision than is possible with a simple DTD. Note the name is not RELAXING, but RELAX NG. RELAX NG has two flavours, an XML based language, and a compact non-XML repsentation. The closest thing to the compact form you have likely seen are regex expressions. Check out some of the tutorials to come up to speed quickly on what it is about.

Here as an example of a simple RELAX NG schema:
