pyxsd Python XML/Schema processing tool pyXSD is a free, open source python program that maps xml and xsd(XML Schema) files into python, allowing for easy schema-based validation and transformation of xml files. Benefits: ========= * Allows for easy, non-DOM, access to XML and XML Schema from Python * Minimizes time to make small programs associated with data in an xml file using "transforms" * Highly adaptable to particular needs and to specific programs * Platform independent Overview: ========= * Generates python classes for all of the types defined in the XSD schema file. The generated classes may be written to file. * Parses the xml file and builds a pythonic object tree according to the generated classes. This tree of maintains the same overall structure of the original xml document. * Validates the xml file against the schema producing non-fatal errors. Helps the user write a valid xml document, without requiring complete validity. * Transforms the pythonic objects according to built-in "transform" classes and add-on classes that the user writes in python. * Sends pythonic object tree to a writer which produces a transformed xml file. Features: * Transforms allow users to easily adapt pyXSD to vast number of applications - Provides a framework and libraries to write transform so the user can more easily write these transform functions - Allows the user to specify the desired transform classes with arguments and the order in a file so the user can create a sort of custom tool - Allows for transforms that can export to other formats, giving pyXSD powerful flexibility * The pythonic data tree format uses a very simple structure that allows for an easily understood API, so that users can easily manipulate this tree in transforms and use the writer in other programs * Can be used as a standalone program at the command line or as a library in other programs * Uses the cElementTree library for fast reading of the xml and xsd files Requirements: ============= * Python 2.3 or later. * ElementTree library, preferably the c implementation. http://pyxsd.org/download-area/release-0.1/release-0-1-downloads Karl Norby a98f1fe40290e1c70afe537b21a80b85f0dd6e35 0.1
