[QUOTE="Terra, post: 857820, member: 97366"] I see :) Well I think a *.nfo extension is more confusing than *.xml. Usually everyone is familiar with *.NFO files being scene/release information (text-)files with no semantic content. *.xml indicates that this file contains semantic markup and can be read and queried by any XML parser. Or maybe invent a new extension like *.mxml (Media XML) A XML scheme is a defined set of rules which describes what is allowed in this xml file. e.g. you have a <info> node and under this info node is a <title> element. This can be defined in a XML scheme so that the file will be invalid if there is no <title> element under <info>. Or that a <Genre> node can have several <Genre> nodes below and that this information is only optional if available, etc. Nevertheless maybe a full scheme definition can be made later after defining the content. I just wanted to add that this is the proper way to define a XML file :) See: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Definition[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RELAX_NG[/url] [/QUOTE]
