okay so bestie, this is the xsdata-generate moment — it's part of the xsdata manual gang, and it's literally the glow-up machine that turns your schema files into actual code 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

xsdata-generate — generate code from xsd, dtd, wsdl, xml and... (the ellipsis is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here fr)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xsdata generate [OPTIONS] SOURCE

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. you give it schemas. it gives you code. that's the whole vibe ✨

Generate code from xsd, dtd, wsdl, xml and json files.

The input SOURCE can be either a filepath, a uri, or a directory containing xml, json, xsd and wsdl files. no cap, it really does just slurp up whatever's in there 🫶
