Hi,
I'm attempting to write a program which displays a schema's content
model in a 'tree' format. For example, if given the file 'po.xml' found
in libxml/examples the output would be:
purchaseOrder[ orderDate]
|-- shipTo[ country]
| |-- name
| |-- street
| |-- city
| |-- state
| `-- zip
|-- billTo[ country]
| |-- name
| |-- street
| |-- city
| |-- state
| `-- zip
|-- comment
`-- items
`-- item[ partNum,@subNum]
|-- productName
|-- quantity
|-- USPrice
|-- comment
`-- shipDate
21 elements
Currently I have a working version, but it requires the internals of
some of the structures found in xmlregexp.c to become available at the
API level. This is because I use the content models generated for each
element after the schema is parsed to achieve the reverse engineering
and hence, create the tree. What are your thoughts on making the
internals of 'struct _xmlRegexp' available at the libxml2 API level?
Also, if I'm going about this problem the wrong way, please let me know.
Thanks,
David Weinkauf
