For stress tests, I would like to create XML files based on a XSD with random (but valid!) test data. Is there a tool which can read a (simple) XSD file and build a XML file based on the schema definition?

I've used XML Spy to generate sample XML from an XSD file. It's extremely easy! http://bit.ly/9MGFZh However I cannot advise if this is useful for generating many (hundreds) samples. I've only used it for one or two samples. Check out the free trial. – Tony R Aug 27 '10 at 14:36

1I've given them only a brief look, but it does *not* seem like any of them would use *random* data to generate the output. They all seem to use *sample* data only. – Jan Hudec Apr 08 '17 at 10:25
