[Expat-discuss] [ANN] CodeSynthesis XSD - open-source XML Schema to C++ compiler

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the availability of CodeSynthesis XSD 2.3.1.

CodeSynthesis XSD is an open-source, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to
C++ data binding compiler. Provided with a 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 elements, attributes, and text in a
direct representation of XML such as DOM or SAX.

XSD supports both in-memory and stream-oriented processing models by
implementing two C++ mappings: C++/Tree and C++/Parser. The C++/Tree
mapping represents the information stored in XML instance documents
as a tree-like, in-memory data structure. The C++/Parser mapping
generates parser templates for data types defined in XML Schema. Using
these parser templates you can build your own in-memory representations
or perform immediate processing of XML instance documents.

The C++/Parser mapping supports Expat as the underlying XML parser.
The following page lists a number of benchmark results that compare
the performance and footprint of XSD-generated validation code running
on top of Expat to various validating XML parsers:

XSD is available on AIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows.
Supported C++ compilers include: GNU g++, HP aCC, IBM XL C++, Intel C++,
Sun C++, and MS Visual C++.

More information as well as precompiled binaries for all supported
platforms are available from:
