Trouble doing XML

[StuM]

I'm trying to generate an XML file that has a "complex structure" that is indicated in the XSD data below.
I can't find any examples on the internet for this kind of output. I can do "simple XML" with 2 different addon programs BUT need help with this one.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<!-- root element scheduledata
-->
<xsd:element name="scheduledata">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<!-- the scheduledata may contain one ore more aircraft
-->
<xsd:element name="aircraft" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<!-- each aircraft must contain one and only one updateenddate
-->
<xsd:element name="updateenddate" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="datetime" type="xsd:dateTime" />
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<!-- each aircraft must contain one schedule
-->
<xsd:element ref="schedule" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
</xsd:sequence>
<!-- each aircraft has an regnr attribute wich identifies the aircraft in the avinonde system
-->
<xsd:attribute name="regnr" type="xsd:string" use="required" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
<!-- the scheduledata element must have a version attribute
-->
<xsd:attribute name="version" type="xsd:string" use="required" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<!-- description of the schedule tag
-->
<xsd:element name="schedule">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<!-- each schedule may contain one or more activities
-->
<xsd:element name="activity" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:all>
<!-- each activity must be one of the following types; "onground", "ferry"
-->
<xsd:element name="type">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="onground" />
<xsd:enumeration value="ferry" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>
<!-- each activity must have a start tag, wich contains an airport (ICAO) and a dateTime
-->
<xsd:element name="start">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="airport" type="airport" />
<xsd:element name="datetime" type="xsd:dateTime" />
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<!-- each activity must also have a end tag, wich contains an airport (ICAO) and a dateTime
-->
<xsd:element name="end">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="airport" type="airport" />
<xsd:element name="datetime" type="xsd:dateTime" />
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<!-- each activity must set allowlisting with string values "yes" or "no"
-->
<xsd:element name="allowlisting">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="yes" />
<xsd:enumeration value="no" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<!-- description of the airport tag, the ICAO code must contain at least 3 and at most 4 letters [a-zA-Z0-9]
-->
<xsd:simpleType name="airport">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsdattern value="[\w]{3,4}" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>

What do you mean by that? XML output? XSD output? filesave format? (BTW: Never even heard of this "XSB" thingy)

BobbaFet

if not Programming = 'Severe Migraine' then
                       ShowMessage('Eureka!');

I'm looking for delphi programs that write out XML files.
with complex XML structure like

<scheduledata version="0.6"/>
<aircraft regnr="N100GP">
<activity/>
<start>
<airport/>PWK
<TIME>10:00</TIME>
</start>
<END>
<airport/>LAS
<TIME>22:00</TIME>
<allowlisting>yes</allowlisting>
</END>
</aircraft>


XSB == XSD files

There are a few XML tools that are available. Some come with Delphi, depending on your version, others are third party. This one is free:

Good luck,

Remember... XML is plain text file format. You could just do without one and use a couple of functions instead...

BobbaFet

if not Programming = 'Severe Migraine' then
                       ShowMessage('Eureka!');

XML is plain text file format" ..... this is true .... But why invent the wheel if it is already there.... Only trouble my wheel is flat right now.

 

[BobbaFet]

Ok but why spend money on something that simple? (business is business)

BobbaFet

if not Programming = 'Severe Migraine' then
                       ShowMessage('Eureka!');

 

[StuM]

Point taken .... But if XDOM was put in the public sector, then I'm just looking for people that have used it and have some "in-site / use" of the software.

Have you checked these tutorials? I haven't had a chance to look at them, but I would have thought they'd explain how to generate complex XML structures.
