There’s been some interest recently for the topic in the mailing list and feature request tracker, so I have decided to import some code I’ve put together during my grad school days.

The XML schema support library has reached a state where I can say: yep, it’s doing something useful. I gave it a test run with the MPEG-7 schema files (one of the larger schemas I know). More than 300 C++ header and source files are generated in less than a few seconds, all beautifully and […]
