Enrich Your XML Serialization With Schema Providers In The .NET Framework

摘要

Mapping classes to schemas and serializing objects to XML documents leads to interoperability. Consider the relationship that exists among classes, schemas, objects, and XML documents (as illustrated in Figure 1). Classes are constructs that describe a software systems data in a proprietary way, as opposed to schemas which allow data to be described using a proven standard. By using a standard, schemas allow for interoperability between systems, platforms, and organizations. When working with classes, you might not consider that the data being described may some day be visible to another system if a Web service is implemented within your system. By mapping classes to schemas, data that was originally meant for internal system use can be set free, traveling from system to system in the form of SOAP messages.
