Embedding schema

[Zubin Sethna <zs...@technisyst.com.au>]

Hi all

 

Is it possible to use Xerces-C to parse in the schema definitions read
from a set of .xsd files into a persistent format that I could dump and
then compile into a program? Doing this would allow me to do away with
all those schema files.

 

Thanks

Yes, you can serialize the schema grammar into a pre-parsed binary
representation which you can then embed into your application. The
following article on developerWorks explains how to do this:
