xs3p

Overview of xs3p

Description

xs3p is a schema documentation generator. Basically, it is an XSLT stylesheet that will generate an XHTML document from an XSD schema. Some of its cool features are:

• It provides links that allow the user to jump to the documentation of schema components that are referenced.
• It provides a view of schema components' constraints as a sample XML instance.
• For global type definitions, it shows the super- and sub- types of the type definition.
• For global element declarations, it shows the substitution groups that the element declaration heads or belongs to.
• It can sort schema components by type and name.
• It has a glossary section which explains some XML Schema terminology.

Here are some examples generated using xs3p:

• Purchase Order schema from XML Schema Primer
• XML Special Attributes schema
• Schema for XML Schema (926 KB)

How to Get It

xs3p can no longer be downloaded from the Titanium since the demise of the DSTC. However you can still download the latest version here. You will need to install an XSLT processor to use it.

• Download xs3p-1.1.3.zip (71.6K)

You should read through the release notes to find out about xs3p's requirements, constraints, known issues, and customisation.

Online Service

If you haven't got a handy XSLT processor installed in your computer, you can use the online service to generate documentation from your schemas.
