-Supporting XML
---------------
-
-Symfony allows people to provide the configuration in three different formats:
-Yaml, XML and PHP. Both Yaml and PHP use the same syntax and are supported by
-default when using the Config component. Supporting XML requires you to do some
-more things. But when sharing your bundle with others, it is recommended that
-you follow these steps.
-
-Make your Config Tree ready for XML
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The Config component provides some methods by default to allow it to correctly
-process XML configuration. See ":ref:`component-config-normalization`" of the
-component documentation. However, you can do some optional things as well, this
-will improve the experience of using XML configuration:
-
-Choosing an XML Namespace
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-In XML, the `XML namespace`_ is used to determine which elements belong to the
-configuration of a specific bundle. The namespace is returned from the
-:method:`Extension::getNamespace() <Symfony\\Component\\DependencyInjection\\Extension\\Extension::getNamespace>`
-method. By convention, the namespace is a URL (it doesn't have to be a valid
-URL nor does it need to exist). By default, the namespace for a bundle is
-``http://example.org/schema/dic/DI_ALIAS``, where ``DI_ALIAS`` is the DI alias of
-the extension. You might want to change this to a more professional URL::
-
-    // src/DependencyInjection/AcmeHelloExtension.php
-    namespace Acme\HelloBundle\DependencyInjection;
-
-    // ...
-    class AcmeHelloExtension extends Extension
-    {
-        // ...
-
-        public function getNamespace(): string
-        {
-            return 'http://acme_company.com/schema/dic/hello';
-        }
-    }
-
-Providing an XML Schema
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-XML has a very useful feature called `XML schema`_. This allows you to
-describe all possible elements and attributes and their values in an XML Schema
-Definition (an XSD file). This XSD file is used by IDEs for auto completion and
-it is used by the Config component to validate the elements.
-
-In order to use the schema, the XML configuration file must provide an
-``xsi:schemaLocation`` attribute pointing to the XSD file for a certain XML
-namespace. This location always starts with the XML namespace. This XML
-namespace is then replaced with the XSD validation base path returned from
-:method:`Extension::getXsdValidationBasePath() <Symfony\\Component\\DependencyInjection\\Extension\\ExtensionInterface::getXsdValidationBasePath>`
-method. This namespace is then followed by the rest of the path from the base
-path to the file itself.
-
-By convention, the XSD file lives in ``config/schema/`` directory, but you
-can place it anywhere you like. You should return this path as the base path::
-
-    // src/DependencyInjection/AcmeHelloExtension.php
-    namespace Acme\HelloBundle\DependencyInjection;
-
-    // ...
-    class AcmeHelloExtension extends Extension
-    {
-        // ...
-
-        public function getXsdValidationBasePath(): string
-        {
-            return __DIR__.'/../config/schema';
-        }
-    }
-
-Assuming the XSD file is called ``hello-1.0.xsd``, the schema location will be
-``https://acme_company.com/schema/dic/hello/hello-1.0.xsd``:
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <!-- config/packages/acme_hello.xml -->
-    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
