Sure. Schema validation is optional. For basic data processing, you can often ignore schemas and just work with well-formed documents. If you know how to read the source data, and you know how you want to map that to XML, this is just a Simple Matter Of Programming. Excel is using the schema because it's trying to be general purpose and let the schema help guide that mapping. But hand-coding certainly works. | ||||||
