go get aqwari.net/xml/...

This repository contains a collection of Go packages for working with XML, with the ultimate goal of enabling code generation based on XML documents.

• The xmltree package converts xml documents to a tree data structure, and provides convenient methods for manipulating and searching through that tree.
• The xsd package implements a parser for XML Schema. It takes some liberties from the specification, and would need some work for use as a validator, but it handles type inheritance and XML namespaces in a relatively sane way.
• The xsdgen package provides a customizable code generator that generates Go type declarations and marshal/unmarshal methods for an XML Schema.
• The wsdl package parses Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) files, which describe a (usually) SOAP web service.
• The wsdlgen package generates Go source code from WSDL files.
• The xsdgen and wsdlgen commands generate Go code with default settings and are suitable for use with go generate.

The directory wsdlgen/examples contains packages that were (mostly) automatically generated using the wsdlgen package. You can run

go generate

within the subdirectories to re-generate the code if you make changes to the wsdlgen package. This code is still very rough around the edges, but I have succesfully used it to generate type declarations for some pretty complex XML schema from an Apache Axis application. There are github issues opened for missing functionality.

Fork Changes

The purpose of this fork is to automate (as much as possible) the process of generating Golang source code from the MusicXML XSD. This is to support the go-musicxml library. Here are the changes made so far:

• Added a copy of the musicxml.xsd. Updated the file to have a namespace, so it works with code generation.
• Removed the added namespace in the generated xml: struct tags.
• Updated name generation to make MusicXML types and names MixedCaps.
• Updated type generation to generate pointers. This is so optional parameters can be nil. Currently, only complex types are pointers, although this is likely to change.
