Info

RXSD is a library that translates XSD XML Schema Definitions into Ruby Classes on the fly. It is able to read XSD resources and use them to define Ruby classes in memory or string class definitions to be written to the filesystem

RXSD implements a full XSD parser that not only defines the various xsd schema classes, parsing them out of a XSD file, but translates them into a meta-class heirarchy, for use in subsequent transformations. The builder interface can easily be extended to output any format one could want including classes in other languages (Python, C++, Java, etc), other XML formats, etc.

RXSD also parses XML conforming to a XSD schema, and instantiates objects corresponding to the XSD classes created. Furthermore, RXSD will work with existing class definitions resulting in a quick way to map XSD to Ruby constructs, letting you define the schema features that you need, and autogenerting handlers to the others.

Installation

To install the official gem do gem install rxsd

... But that will probably end with

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    current directory: [...]gems/libxml-ruby-1.1.4/ext/libxml

To use this fork add

gem 'RXSD', :git => 'https://github.com/MatthiasWinkelmann/RXSD.git'

to your Gemfile or clone the repository.

Usage

  require 'lib/rxsd'
  
  xsd_uri = "file:///home/user/schema.xsd"
  xml_uri = "file:///home/user/data.xml"
  
  schema = RXSD::Parser.parse_xsd :uri => xsd_uri
  
  puts "###=Classes###="
  classes = schema.to :ruby_classes
  puts classes.collect{ |cl| !cl.nil? ? (cl.to_s + " < " + cl.superclass.to_s) : ""}.sort.join("\n")
  
  puts "###=Tags###="
  puts schema.tags.collect { |n,cb| n + ": " + cb.to_s + ": " + (cb.nil? ? "ncb" : cb.klass_name.to_s + "-" + cb.klass.to_s) }.sort.join("\n")
  
  puts "###=Objects###="
  data = RXSD::Parser.parse_xml :uri => xml_uri
  objs = data.to :ruby_objects, :schema => schema
  objs.each {  |obj|
    puts "#{obj}"
  }
