About

XsdModel parses a XML Schema Definition (XSD) and returns tree structure of objects representing XSD nodes. Each object implements specific API simplify the work with XSD.

Usage

Basics

Suppose you have following schema in a schema.xsd file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:element name="note">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

</xs:schema>

To parse it:

require('xsd_model')
raw = File.read('schema.xsd')
xsd = XsdModel.parse(raw)
#=> #<XsdModel::Elements::Document:0x000056471a3b7cb8
#@children=
# [#<XsdModel::Elements::Schema:0x000056471a4659a8

#            @children=
#             [#<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a3b19f8>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Element:0x000056471a3b0cd8>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a3c71b8>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Element:0x000056471a3c62b8>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a3c54f8>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Element:0x000056471a3c47b0>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a3dbaa0>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Element:0x000056471a3da830>,
#              #<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a3d9930>]>,
#           #<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a403cf8>]>,
#        #<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a4014a8>]>,
#     #<XsdModel::Elements::Text:0x000056471a4660b0>],
