Bind XML with no grammar constraints to XSD / DTD

[fbricon]

IntelliJ IDEA has this command to automatically generate an XSD schema from an XML file:

Such command would take at least 2 parameters:

• source file URI
• target XSD file URI (optional, would default to source name without extension + ".xsd")

I'd give that issue a very low priority, until other people vote for it.

To do that, we could using the XMLGenerator https://github.com/angelozerr/lsp4xml/blob/master/org.eclipse.lsp4xml/src/main/java/org/eclipse/lsp4xml/extensions/contentmodel/utils/XMLGenerator.java which works with CMDocument. It could works too with DTD once we will have a DTDDocument which implements CMDocument.

Trang can do this, in addition to conversion between different schemata.

Ideally, this would need more than just one XML instance document to get a better understanding of structure (possible with Trang). Also here, at Stack Overflow: Any tools to generate an XSD schema from an XML instance document?
