"CodeSynthesis XSD is an open-source, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to C++ data binding compiler. Provided with an XML instance specification (XML Schema), it generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code. You can then access the data stored in XML using types and functions that semantically correspond to your application domain rather than dealing with intricacies of reading and writing XML.... The process of extracting the data from a direct representation of XML (such as DOM or SAX) and
Abstract
Mapping XML Schemas to class definitions and relational schemas allows for seamless marshaling and unmarshaling of an object's state to and from XML documents. W3C XML Schemas provide a rich set of datatypes and validity rules, both built-in, and user definable. It is possible to map data structures defined in a Schema document to data structures in object oriented languages and relational databases. This paper presents approaches to automating such mapping.
In simple cases, a Schema document can be generated based on a class definition,
Introduction:
This package contains an implementation of the W3C XML Schema Language, a recommendation of the Worldwide Web Consortium available in three parts: XML Schema: Primer and XML Schema: Structures and XML Schema: Datatypes. We consider this implementation to be complete except for the limitations cited below. The implementation has been extensively tested and known problem areas are set out below. In this document we also discuss our interpretation of the specifications where it seems to us particularly likely that others might arrive at a
W3C XML Schema is one to specify the structure of and constraints on XML documents. As usage of W3C XML Schema has grown, certain usage patterns have become common and this article, the first in a series, will tackle various aspects of the creation and usage of W3C XML Schema. This article will focus on techniques for building schemas which are flexible and which allow for change in underlying data, the schema, or both in a modular manner.
Designing schemas that support data evolution is beneficial in situations where the structure of XML instances
Abstract:
XML Schema Part 0: Primer is a non-normative document intended to provide an easily readable description of the XML Schema facilities, and is oriented towards quickly understanding how to create schemas using the XML Schema language.
XML Schema Part 1: Structures and XML Schema
Part 2: Datatypes provide the complete normative description of the XML Schema language. This primer describes the language features through numerous examples which are complemented by extensive references to the normative texts.
Status of this
The XML Schema WG is currently working towards the completion of XML Schema 1.1, which is intended to be mostly compatible with XML Schema 1.0 and to have approximately the same scope, but also to fix bugs and make whatever improvements we can, consistent with the constraints on scope and compatibility. A Last Call working draft of XML Schema 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes was published on 17 February 2006; a new Working Draft of XML Schema 1.1 Part 1: Structures is expected soon.
If you have suggestions for specific requirements for XML Schema 1.1 (or for
