A Java and Processing application for viewing Schematic files produced by Xilinx ISE

Project XSV - Xilinx Schematic Parser and Viewer

This project provides a set of utilities for parsing and viewing schematics generated by the Xilinx ISE Tool used for FPGA code development. The schematic file is an XML file and the parser parses it and converts it to a Java object model. The resulting object model can be serialized into JSON representation, or viewed in the graphical form.

The current plan is to use the Processing IDE to interactively view the schematic and it is a work in progress. Once that is complete, the next step would be to create an interactive browser-based viewer that uses HTML5 canvas element.
