mvrens / x2xmldatabinding

An alternative to Delphi's built-in XML binding generator with many extra features (and some surely lacking)

X²XMLDataBinding

an alternative to the Delphi built-in XML data binding generator with a few benefits.

Key features

• Proper namespace support
• Output to a single file or multiple files, allowing types to be reused when included from several root schemas
• Has properties for optional elements and attributes
• IsNil properties for xsi:nil elements
• Def methods to safely read optional values with a default
• Read and write enumeration properties as a typed enum or raw text
• Proper boolean support
• Much improved support for date/time values
• Support for Base64 encoded values
• Basic validation for outputting XML documents which applies element order for sequences and checks for the presence of required elements
• Influence the generator by using a Hints file

Dependencies

• Works up from Delphi XE2

Documentation is available on ReadTheDocs.

x2xmldatabinding's Issues

ValidateRequiredElements with namespaces

ValidateRequiredElements in XMLDataBindingUtils does not have overloaded version with namespaces like CreateRequiredElements has.
There are a lot of false Missing element events In multi namespace environment.
It would be great if generated Txxxxxx.XSDValidateStrict could call that overloaded ValidateRequiredElements procedure.

Documentation nodes not recognized

This solution of merge request #4 ignores every documentation.
SchemaItem.Documentation is a collection of documentation nodes, therefore it never IsTextElement.
You have to check the collection items, i.e. SchemaItem.Documentation[0].IsTextElement

Stack overlfow by converting FHIR

Hello there.

There is a open project at
http://hl7.org/fhir/directory.html
when you download it (tested with 4.0.1) you will get an overflow error (or similar)
by importing/converting some of the files.
You can test it by using "xml.xsd" or "fhir-xhtml.xsd", which works perfectly fine,
but if you use "fhir-all.xsd" or "fhir-base.xsd" (which used "fhir-all.xsd") it fails.
First it stops at Units\XMLDataBindingGenerator.pas:IterateShemaItem
what I try to fix myself by adding an List to avoid adding the same file again and again,
but it doesn't work out.
XMLDataBindingGenerator.zip
Maybe it is anyway a good idea to do so and you want to use this.

Sorry for any gramar issues, I'm from germany.
