Hi,

XML is used o represent the Payload data in Custom format. It is the basic instance to re-present the data across the various systsmes

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere

In WSDL, you will get the request and response structure of various services available for Web Services.

These Request and Response parameters will transit the data in XML format. But WSDL will create the framework to process this XML data.

XML

XML means extensible markup language used to store the data and transport the data.XML contains root

elememts,child elements , attributes and their values.

When you come to XML schema , it deos not contain any data.It describies just structure of XML

document.The XML schema language is also reffered to as XML schema definition(XSD).

The purpose of XML schema is to define the legal building blocks of an XML document.

Hi,

XML is basically Payload data.

ie. whatever actual data is sent is in the understood by XI in XML format. may it be Idoc or file or Jdbc

WSDL

it is Web Structure Definition Language.from d name u may understand that it is basically a structure .

It mainly consists of the structure of data and also the configuration parameters like message interface , Software component. etc.
