USC in XML

The United States Code in XML uses the USLM Schema. That schema is explained in greater detail in the USLM Schema User Guide. For rendering the XML files, a stylesheet (CSS) file is provided (A stylesheet for the XHTML is also provided).

Each update of the United States Code is a "release point". The available formats are XML, XHTML, and PCC (photocomposition codes, sometimes called GPO locators). Certain limitations currently exist. Although older PDF files (generated through Microcomp) are available on the Annual Historical Archives page, the new PDF files for this page (to be generated through XSL-FO) are not yet available. In addition, the five appendices contained in the United States Code are not yet available in the XML format.

Links to files for other prior release points are available on the Prior Release Points page. Links to older files are available on the Annual Historical Archives page.
