NAME

       schema2example - convert XML schema knowledge into Perl or XML examples

SYNOPSIS

        schema2example xml-file schema-file(s)  >outfile

        schema2example -x xml-file -s schema-file(s) -o outfile

DESCRIPTION

       XML schemas are quite hard to read, certainly when multiple name-spaces are involved.  The
       template() function in XML::Compile::Schema function can help displaying the expected
       structure of a message; this module is a wrapper around that function.

   Options
       You can either specify an XML message filename and one or more schema filenames as
       arguments, or use the options.

       --xml|-x filename
           The file which contains the xml message.  A single dash means "stdin".

       --schema|-s filename(s)
           This option can be repeated, or the filenames separated by comma's, if you have more
           than one schema file to parse.  All imported and included schema components have to be
           provided explicitly.

       --type|-t TYPE
           The type of the root element, required if the XML is not namespaceo qualified,
           although the schema is.  If not specified, the root element is automatically
           inspected.

           The TYPE notation is "{namespace}localname".  Be warned to use quoting on the UNIX
           command-line, because curly braces have a special meaning for the shell.

       --output|-o filename
           By default, the output is to stdout.

       --show STRING
           A comma separated list of comment components which should be included, by default
           "ALL".  An empty string or "NONE" will exclude all comments.  The STRING can also be a
           comma separated combination of "struct", "type", "occur", and "facets".
