NAME¶
schema2example - convert XML schema knowledge into Perl or XML examples
SYNOPSIS¶
schema2example xml-file schema-file(s) >outfile
schema2example -x xml-file -s schema-file(s) -o outfile
DESCRIPTION¶
XML schemas are quite hard to read, certainly when multiple name-spaces are
involved. The
template() function in XML::Compile::Schema function can
help displaying the expected structure of a message; this module is a wrapper
around that function.
Options¶
You can either specify an XML message filename and one or more schema filenames
as arguments, or use the options.
- --xml|-x filename
- The file which contains the xml message. A single dash means
"stdin".
- --schema|-s filename(s)
- This option can be repeated, or the filenames separated by comma's, if you
have more than one schema file to parse. All imported and included schema
components have to be provided explicitly.
- --type|-t TYPE
- The type of the root element, required if the XML is not namespaceo
qualified, although the schema is. If not specified, the root element is
automatically inspected.
The TYPE notation is "{namespace}localname". Be warned to use
quoting on the UNIX command-line, because curly braces have a special
meaning for the shell.
- --output|-o filename
- By default, the output is to stdout.
- --show STRING
- A comma separated list of comment components which should be included, by
default "ALL". An empty string or "NONE" will exclude
all comments. The STRING can also be a comma separated combination of
"struct", "type", "occur", and
"facets".
