Let's suppose that you have an XML document and you need to process its data in a compiling language, such as C or C++. In such a case, you would have to create a program that would automatically parse the requested documents, basing on their structure.
XSD from CodeSynthesis comes to help the programmer work with XML data structures by automating the process of creation of code by creating the required C++ classes from an XML instance specification file.
By using CodeSynthesis XSD, you can easily create programs that work directly
"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
XML processing has become a common task that many C++ application developers have to deal with. Using low-level XML access APIs such as DOM and SAX is tedious and error-prone, especially for large XML vocabularies. XML Data Binding is a new alternative which automates much of the task by presenting the information stored in XML as a statically-typed, vocabulary-specific object model. This article introduces XML Data Binding and shows how it can simplify XML processing in C++.

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,
