[ANN] CodeSynthesis XSD 3.2.0 released

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the availability of CodeSynthesis XSD 3.2.0.

CodeSynthesis XSD is an open-source (GPL2 + proprietary license), cross-
platform W3C XML Schema to C++ data binding compiler. Provided with a
schema, it generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as
well as parsing and serialization code. You can then access the data
stored in XML using types and functions that semantically correspond to
your application domain rather than dealing with elements, attributes,
and text in a direct representation of XML such as DOM or SAX.

CodeSynthesis XSD supports both in-memory and event-driven processing
models by implementing two C++ mappings: C++/Tree and C++/Parser. The
C++/Tree mapping represents the information stored in XML documents as
a tree-like, in-memory object model. The C++/Parser mapping generates
parser skeletons for data types defined in XML Schema. Using these
parser skeletons you can build your own in-memory representations or
perform immediate processing of XML data as it becomes available.

Major new features in this release:

C++/Tree:

* Support for locating object model nodes with XPath queries.
* Automatic assignment of namespace prefixes during serialization.
* Polymorphism-aware object model comparison and printing.
* Generation of non-copying constructors.
* Support for the fractionDigits/totalDigits facets during serialization.

C++/Parser:

* Support for generation of the XML Schema namespace into a separate
header file.
* Reduced usage of virtual inheritance which results in a much smaller
object code size and faster C++ compilation.

CodeSynthesis XSD is available on IBM AIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, Mac OS X,
Solaris, and Windows. Supported C++ compilers include: GNU g++, HP aCC,
IBM XL C++, Intel C++, Sun C++, and MS Visual C++.
