Method Detail

### getSchemaNamespace

    public java.lang.String getSchemaNamespace()

  [schema namespace]: A namespace name or `null` if absent.

### getComponents

    public XSNamedMap getComponents(short objectType)

  [schema components]: a list of top-level components, i.e. element declarations, attribute declarations, etc.
  Parameters:
    `objectType` - The type of the declaration, i.e. `ELEMENT_DECLARATION`. Note that `XSTypeDefinition.SIMPLE_TYPE` and `XSTypeDefinition.COMPLEX_TYPE` can also be used as the `objectType` to retrieve only complex types or simple types, instead of all types.
  Returns:
    A list of top-level definition of the specified type in `objectType` or an empty `XSNamedMap` if no such definitions exist.

### getAnnotations

    public XSObjectList getAnnotations()

  [annotations]: a set of annotations if it exists, otherwise an empty `XSObjectList`.

### getElementDeclaration

    public XSElementDeclaration getElementDeclaration(java.lang.String name)

  Convenience method. Returns a top-level element declaration.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the declaration.
  Returns:
    A top-level element declaration or `null` if such a declaration does not exist.

### getAttributeDeclaration

    public XSAttributeDeclaration getAttributeDeclaration(java.lang.String name)

  Convenience method. Returns a top-level attribute declaration.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the declaration.
  Returns:
    A top-level attribute declaration or `null` if such a declaration does not exist.

### getTypeDefinition

    public XSTypeDefinition getTypeDefinition(java.lang.String name)

  Convenience method. Returns a top-level simple or complex type definition.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the definition.
  Returns:
    An `XSTypeDefinition` or `null` if such a definition does not exist.

### getAttributeGroup

    public XSAttributeGroupDefinition getAttributeGroup(java.lang.String name)

  Convenience method. Returns a top-level attribute group definition.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the definition.
  Returns:
    A top-level attribute group definition or `null` if such a definition does not exist.

### getModelGroupDefinition

    public XSModelGroupDefinition getModelGroupDefinition(java.lang.String name)

  Convenience method. Returns a top-level model group definition.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the definition.
  Returns:
    A top-level model group definition definition or `null` if such a definition does not exist.

### getNotationDeclaration

    public XSNotationDeclaration getNotationDeclaration(java.lang.String name)

  Convenience method. Returns a top-level notation declaration.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the declaration.
  Returns:
    A top-level notation declaration or `null` if such a declaration does not exist.

### getDocumentLocations
