(Deleted User) Subject: Off-Topic Question - Looking for an XSD Dependency Graph utility

I'm looking for a utility that will generate both a well-laid-out dependency graph for XSDs in a schema set, and (even more useful, for my purpose) a utility that will traverse the dependency chain/tree and generate a simple text list (preferably with additional info like include/import/ext, parent-child, etc).

I had a play around with Altova's SchemaAgent (a good product, as far as it goes - with links to other XML Spy stuff).

But it doesn't do text output or reports of the type that I think would be really useful. The "vNext" will have a more sensible graphics format for output, and they say that some of the suggestions I made are being considered, but even at $129 it's a bit of a toy.

Anyway, if anyone here has suggestions about tools that might give dependency lists (or graphs), please let me know.

Ian

With a careful search, i find that there are some open source projects and commercial products that do this, to varying degrees of conformance with what would be useful to me.

Since XML Schema files are themselves XML, it shouldn't be hard
to write code that traverses the schema tree, just selecting on
xs:import and xs:include and xs:redefine.

The only trick will be catching recursion.

Yes, I wrote something reasonably useful myself, in .NET, a few weeks ago.

The recursion is a fairly standard thing to watch out for, and for a text-only report I can do this.

But there are quite sophisticated algorithms for doing this efficiently (generic), and to render a nice graphic is more difficult. I haven't done that.

You probably don't use (Lutz Roeder's) Reflector, a .NET program for investigating .NET assemblies. There are nice add_ins that 'reverse engineer' .NET prgs to reveal such relationships, including 2 that display this in a graphical form.

It would be nice to reveal the same, for XSD files with a common parentage.

I think there are better utilities available, and I continue to look for them.
