XSD (XML Schema Definition) is a language definition that defines how to describe the elements in the Extensible Markup Language (XML). This definition is a recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium that can be used by the programmers to verify each piece of the content in the XML document. XSD defines a set of instructions to which an XML document must follow in order to be considered a valid document.

XSD is also used for generating XML documents that are treated as programming objects.
