XML Namespace Identifiers

Elements used as request or response bodies contain a set of attributes that enable XML validation. The body
of a PUT or POST request must contain all XML namespace identifiers required to validate the XML it
contains. A response body typically includes all the XML namespace identifiers that the server used to validate
it, in addition to other attributes that specify the schema locations searched during validation. Table
summarizes these attributes and shows the namespace identifiers and prefixes used in the examples in this
guide.
