scalaxb: an XML data-binding tool for Scala
Thu, 2010-03-18, 05:26
Hi all,
I'd like to sheepishly announce scalaxb, an XML data-binding tool for Scala that supports W3C XML Schema.The development is still at humble stage, but it could use some feedback.
The idea is to generate case classes from XSD files, to handle XML documents more naturally in Scala.For example,
<xs:complexType name="Address"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="street" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType>
turns to case class Address(name: String, street: String, city: String) extends DataModel with Addressable { } object Address { def fromXML(node: scala.xml.Node): Address = Address((node \ "name").text, (node \ "street").text, (node \ "city").text) }
Further information is available at http://scalaxb.org. GitHub repo is at http://github.com/eed3si9n/scalaxb.
Thanks,e.e

Re: scalaxb: an XML data-binding tool for Scala
Getting SAML Metadata schema to produce case classes has been my milestone goal for the last several weeks.It pushed me to implement more advanced XML Schema features like importing since it uses types from
four other schema (XML Signatures, XML Encryption, SAML assertions, and XML Namespace).

This looks like a great start, e.e. I notice you're using the SAML assertion schema as one of your test cases; the sight of it makes my battle scars pulsate (I used to work at http://www.layer7tech.com/). :)
