Hi
XSD's
are excellent at describing a standard, but ultimately programs need
to be
written to create or consume compliant XML. Their are a number of ways
of
doing this, DOM parsers SAX parsers or XML Data Binding.
XML Data binding
takes your XSD, and generates classes from it. Each class
represents an
element or complex type from the schema. Now instead of
writing mountains of
unintuitive code to deal with DOM objects, you can
reference the simple
generated classes dealing with strongly typed
properties. XML documents can
be serialized/deserialized from these objects.
This has a number of
advantages;
o Much faster
development
o Higher level of compliance to
schema
o Inconsistencies between code and schema can be
identified at compile
time.
Here at Liquid Technologies we have spent
the last 3 years developing and
refining a system that is now best of breed,
generating Java, C#, cross
platform C++ or Visual Basic 6 code from XSD, XDR
& DTD's schemas.
