The simpleType element defines a simple type and specifies the constraints and information about the values of attributes or text-only elements.
Element Information

Syntax
<simpleType
id=ID
name=NCName
any attributes
>
(annotation?,(restriction|list|union))
</simpleType>
id=ID
name=NCName
any attributes
>

| Attribute | Description |

This example defines an element called "age" that is a simple type with a restriction. The value of age can NOT be lower than 0 or greater than 100:
<xs:element name="age">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
<xs:minInclusive value="0"/>
<xs:maxInclusive value="100"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
