Hi, Yes, I think that you are correct, it has no programmatic API (as far as I know). However, it does have a manual code generator supporting Xerces C++ so my thinking was that you could manually create the Xerces C++ compatible source code (C++ classes I might imagine?) from the XML-Spy/Schemas, then build the application around these with the Xerces libraries? The only drawback would be the lack of automated synch with schema updates.
I just wonder how Xerces absorbs these XML-SPY created software? As mentioned, I am supposing that they would be C++ source classes, each one representing a single schema and that these could be instantiated into DOM instances, allowing the user to serialize them to XML files. However, I am still using castor/java as my 'mind model' here. Would you have anymore insight? (even if it was speculation).

I did not think it had a programmatic API for you to integrate with. If it does, I would be interested in hearing about it. Cheers, Gareth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > Many thanks for this.
