What's the difference between xsd include and xsd import?


Asked by Chana Holt on Dec 15, 2021 FAQ



The only explanation I've found is that xsd:include is used for intra-namespace inclusions, while xsd:import is for inter-namespace inclusion.
Additionally,
In short, the import element allows you to use schema components from any schema; the include element allows you to add all the components of an included schema to the containing schema.
In this manner, In the XSD image you can see it is meant to be integer value for the "load-on-startup" and hence when user created his/her XML they passed an int value to that particular element. As a reminder, XSD is a schema and style whereas XML is a form to communicate with another application or system.
Besides,
The fundamental difference between include and import is that you must use import to refer to declarations or definitions that are in a different target namespace and you must use include to refer to declarations or definitions that are (or will be) in the same target namespace.
In addition,
Including or Importing XML Schemas. An XML schema may contain <xs:import />, <xs:include />, and <xs:redefine /> elements. These schema elements refer to other XML schemas that can be used to supplement the structure of the schema that includes or imports them.
