SCHEMA2EXAMPLE(1p)

💖 SCHEMA2EXAMPLE 💖

okay so bestie, this is schema2example(1p) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section — it's a lil command-line cutie that turns your XML schema knowledge into actual Perl or XML examples. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

schema2example — convert XML schema knowledge into Perl or XML examples 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

schema2example xml-file schema-file(s)  >outfile

schema2example -x xml-file -s schema-file(s) -o outfile

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ngl, XML schemas are quite hard to read — literally, and it gets so much worse when multiple name-spaces are involved 😭. good news tho: the template() function in XML::Compile::Schema can help you display the expected structure of a message, and this module is just a lil wrapper around that function. it's giving "helper for the helper". 💅

💜 Options 💜

you've got two vibes to choose from, bestie: either you pass an XML message filename plus one or more schema filenames as plain arguments, or you use the options. pick your fighter. ✨

• --xml, -x filename — the file that contains the xml message. a single dash means "stdin" 🫶
• --schema, -s filename(s) — this option can be repeated, or you can separate the filenames with comma's, if you have more than one schema file to parse. important tho: all imported and included schema components have to be provided explicitly. no skipping, no vibes-based inference 💀
• --type, -t TYPE — the type of the root element. it's required if the XML is not namespaceo qualified, although the schema is. if you don't specify it, the root element is automatically inspected. 👑

the TYPE notation is "{namespace}localname". and bestie, be warned: use quoting on the UNIX command-line, because curly braces have a special meaning for the shell 🙈 (your shell WILL eat them, fr fr).

• --output, -o filename — by default, the output is to stdout. classic. 🌈
• --show STRING — a comma separated list of comment components which should be included, by default "ALL". an empty string or "NONE" will exclude all comments. the STRING can also be a comma separated combination of "struct", "type", "occur", and "facets". mix and match, main character energy ⭐
