Trang converts between different schema languages for XML. It
|
||
|
|
supports the following languages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* RELAX NG (XML syntax)
|
||
|
|
* RELAX NG compact syntax
|
||
|
|
* XML 1.0 DTDs
|
||
|
|
* W3C XML Schema
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A schema written in any of the supported schema languages can be
|
||
|
|
converted into any of the other supported schema languages, except
|
||
|
|
that W3C XML Schema is supported for output only, not for input.
|
||
|
|
Trang can also infer a schema from one or more example XML documents.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Trang is constructed around an RELAX NG object model designed to
|
||
|
|
support schema conversion. For each schema language supported for
|
||
|
|
input, there is an input module that can convert from the schema
|
||
|
|
language into this internal object model. Similarly, for each schema
|
||
|
|
language supported for output, there is an output module that can
|
||
|
|
convert from the internal object model in the schema language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Trang aims to produce human-understandable schemas; it tries for
|
||
|
|
a translation that preserves all aspects of the input schema that
|
||
|
|
may be significant to a human reader, including the definitions,
|
||
|
|
the way the schema is divided into files, annotations and comments.
