XML Schema / Validation Query - Missing Elements -


if have xml schema dictates element has default value, , have xml file following schema omits element still valid?

i.e. if element missing validator ok element missing take default value defined in schema , xml valid?

so maybe like:

<xs:element name="test" type="xs:boolean" default="false"/>

then xml file misses out 'example' element together, valid?

the reason ask because i've seen many schemas elements using attribute: minoccurs="0" infers if elements missing still validate. question validate if minoccurs not specified there default value specified instead?

thanks.

minoccurs , default refer 2 different concepts. question needs more context answered completely. minoccurs refers number of times element can occur child of another. default refers string value (sometimes typed - e.g. here boolean). use of default on element invalid.

here default attributes (from w3schools)

default attributes

attributes may have default value specified.

a default value automatically assigned attribute when no other value specified.

in following example default value "en": 

<xs:attribute name="lang" type="xs:string" default="en"/>

and minoccurs

<xs:element name="person">        <xs:complextype>          <xs:sequence>            <xs:element name="full_name" type="xs:string"/>            <xs:element name="child_name" type="xs:string"            maxoccurs="10" minoccurs="0"/>          </xs:sequence>    </xs:complextype>  </xs:element>

the example above indicates "child_name" element can occur minimum of 0 times , maximum of ten times in "person" element.

default refers string value in attribute. minoccurs means can omit element.
