Parsing XCCDF files

XCCDFParser

XCCDF is a specification language for writing security checklists, benchmarks, and related kinds of documents. An XCCDF document represents a structured collection of security configuration rules for some set of target systems.

Why this library?

The XCCDF is a bit of a rats nest of nested XML. The generated parsing code out of xsd2cs is less than optimal.

How to use?

var readAllText = File.ReadAllText(Path);

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();

document.LoadXml(readAllText);

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(document);

XCCDFParser.Container ee = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<XCCDFParser.Container>(json);

How to install?

Nuget

Install-Package XCCDFParser

Or

dotnet add package XCCDFParser

Or build from source. Tested on Visual Studio 2017.
