Is there any way we can replicate language "c" enum in XML schema? for
example

enum
{
GREEN =1001,
YELLOW
RED
}

so in c once you refer GREEN it means 1001. Do we have anything like
this in XML schema?

<enum>

No I have to define like this and I have no way to assign value to
individual element.
<xsd:simpleType name="floodEnum">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="unicast"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="multicast"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="broadcast"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="all"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

XML Schema describes what will be allowed in XML instances. It can either
be GREEN (e.g., as a string) or 1001 (as an integer). The fact that GREEN
means 1001 is an application-specific logic. So I suggest that you simply
translate enum symbols to numbers (or to C enumerators) in your
application. Though this can be a major inconvenience if you are using
XML data binding and the tool generates C/C++ enums that start from 0.
