XSD2Go - Automatically generate golang xml parser based on XSD

Build CI Lint CI Go Report Card PkgGoDev

⚠️ You should run xsd2go, before ever importing encoding/xml to your project. ⚠️

You may want to start reading blog introduction to this project.

Motivation

Did you ever got to implement XML parser? Perhaps for atom, or scap? You may have got XSD (XML Schema Definition) files to verify adherence to given xml application? Wouldn't it be cool to automatically generate XML parser based on XSD definition? That's exactly what we are up to here.

  • Metaschema - generate golang code based on NIST metaschema input
  • SCAP - parsers of NIST SCAP family of standards

Exemplary Usage

# Acquire latest some XSD file you want to convert - for instance XCCDF 1.2
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openscap/openscap
# Parse XSD schema and generate golang structs
./gocomply_xsd2go convert \
    --xmlns-override=http://cpe.mitre.org/language/2.0=cpe_language \
