XML schemas for Hacknet modding files.
These are valid for patch v5.067 released on 2017-06-04.
Basic text editors merely do simple syntax coloring or expanding and collapsing of nodes. When used with an XML editor, an XML schema allows for:
- XML tag auto-completion
- integrated documentation when hover tags and attributes
- validation from the schema.
| Editor | Auto-completion | Documentation | Validation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Notepad++ XML tools plugin | No | No | Yes, but need to copy the .xsd locally, as referencing via http:// doesn't seem to work | See http://when-others-then-null.blogspot.fr/2012/12/Validate-XML-against-an-XSD-using-npp.html. |
| Eclipse | Yes | Yes | Yes | Can validate the whole extension via Right-click/Validate on folders |
Add the attributes "xmlns", "xmlns:xsi" and "xsi:schemaLocation" to the root XML tag, in order to specify the XML schema to use for validation.

This is due to XSD 1.0 limitation regarding xs:all. XSD 1.1 would solve that, but it is not widely supported yet.
