Open source XML Schema utility with the following features:
-
Xsd view diagram follows XMLSpy conventions: XMLSpy documentation.
Some known differences:- global group elements are "inlined", while XMLSpy show special node for global group
- complex types derived by restriction - no special view is displayed for such types
- xsd 1.1 is supported but no xsd 1.1 specifc information (like assertions) is displayed
-
Search definitions by name or select from tree view (organized by namespace).
Use 'backspace' to go to previous definition. -
In case there are many global elements, detect best root candidate - element that is not referenced by others.
Root element is automatically selected in the schema view. -
Multiple xsd files can reference each other, with this feature schema is loaded from all files at once. Root schema document(s) are automatically detected and specified in the log bar
-
Generate sample from schema
-
Create single file (per target namespace). Only xsd 1.0 features are supported.
-
Validation is performed on opening the schema, with all errors reported. Java Xerces2 is used for validation.
Xerces2 provides fully conforming XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1 processors.
For version 1.1, vc:minVersion attribute must be set on the schema. -
Once xsd schema is opened, you can drag & drop multiple xml files for validation against schema loaded.
-
Right-click in the schema view on corresponding node. Opening on exact line is supported with Notepad++ (configure in tools-settings).
Other editors will open the file having the definition (note: not supported for schemas open from zip files).
