XSD to JavaScript class conversion

Question

With XSD.exe I can easily derive a C# or VB.NET class from a XSD file. Is there a tool available to convert XSD to JavaScript?

Answer 1

• Try xsd /language:JS (see here).

• Try Jsonix.

With Jsonix you can compile your schema into JavaScript mappings and then marshall/unmarshall XML in your JavaScript code. Here's an example:

// First we construct a Jsonix context - a factory for unmarshaller (parser)
// and marshaller (serializer)
var context = new Jsonix.Context([ PO ]);

// Then we create an unmarshaller
var unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();

// Unmarshal an object from the XML retrieved from the URL
unmarshaller.unmarshalURL('/org/hisrc/jsonix/samples/po/test/po-0.xml',
    // This callback function will be provided with the result
    // of the unmarshalling
    function(result) {
        // We just check that we get the values we expect
        assertEquals('Alice Smith', result.value.shipTo.name);
        assertEquals('Baby Monitor', result.value.item[1].productName);
    });
