Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a tool which allows you to do class definition based on an XML format. I'm not looking for data binding. Anyone can help ?
Thanks

When I had this problem a few years back, I wrote a Python tool to execute Python code embedded in text files so that I could generate C++ code with Python inside the C++: http://nedbatchelder.com/code/cog/

It's true that it would invlove some parsing but I XML parsing don't require the direct use of YACC or BISON

No but I know tools which can generate code from UML, that could solve my problem if I found myself being more productive typing that drawings schema.

I know of two tools both of them are commercial products
http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/xsd/
- Is open source GPL - commercial licence is avalable for commercial use
- I think this is/was used by gSOAP
- http://www.artima.com/cppsource/xml_data_binding.html
- don't know any more than the web site
I hope this helps.
Update:
Just found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_data_binding#C.2B.2B
Update 2:
This is great, I have been looking for an open source package to do this for ages and your question has just helped my find it:

Hi,I've already known about codesynthesis, while it does produce C++ code from XML files, it's more a binding of data, than the generation of C++ classes itself. I've also known of codealogic, I'm not sure of what it does exactly i was planing on tryin it later this week, you just confirmed tha tI should ^^I'm happy that we could help each other.I don't think i explain myself clearly, I am more searching for a tool which would automate the protyping of classes from an XML file that interactimg and manipulating XML with C++.But the pdf look interesting, thank you :)

OK I was looking for a code generator for turning an xml schema to a set of value object classes for reading and writing the xml schema because I hate writing dom manipulation code.
