XSD file contains formal description of XML document elements – data definitions saved in XML text format. XSD file contains set of rules which a XML files must follow to be considered a proper XML file.
XML file extension is related to data saved in Extensible Markup Language format. XML files can represent any data structure in plain text format. XML are only used to store data.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the XSD file after converting to XML may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from XSD to XML to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting XSD to XML does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in XSD format, properly converted to a XML file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your XSD file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to XML on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the XSD file in its original format (without conversion to XML file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
