Part of Community Services Data Set (CSDS) guidance
Sending your data as an XML file
About XML files
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
Submitting data as XML
The CSDS is submitted to NHS Digital using an XML file that is compliant with the CSDS v1.5.1 XML Schema. The XML schema has been developed along with an CSDS Intermediate Database (IDB) tool that can be used as an alternative to the XML schema to enable providers to load or copy their data into the provided table structure for submission to the CSDS.
Where to get the schema for the XML file
The XML schema can be downloaded from TRUD in the same way already described within this document.
