Summary: Support xsd 1.1 in C++
Key: XERCESC-2198
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2198
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Validating Parser (XML Schema)
Reporter: Nick Economidis
h3. The Request
Please support xsd 1.1 in the C++ based Xerces.
Around the web it has been suggested that you don't have plans to support it
because most uses are experimental. The following case is different:
h3. Background
The Association of Automobil Industry in Germany ([VDA|http://vda.de/], Verband
Der Automobil Industry) has recently developed an open standard file format for
describing welds and joints for widely used for automobile manufacturers. The
format is called xMCF ('extended master connection file'). This format has been
designed to share information across CAD, CAE and CAM teams using a single file.
During the past few years, I have been involved in the development of this
format. We have used xsd 1.1 to describe the schema. This is [the gitub
repository|https://github.com/economidis-nick/createXSDforxMCF/tree/master/V3.0r1]
where the standard has been developed.
The standard is nearly complete, and most software vendors that build tools for
the automotive companies would like to use C++ library in order to test the
validity of a xml file.
h3. Rationale
So far we have used the *XercesJ* implementation to build a xMCF validator for
the test suite of the repository. But the software vendors would like a C++
version of it so that they can incorporate the validator in their software,
which in this industry is typically C++.
They do not want to depend on Java, because Java's future depends on the
company that owns/runs it.
h3. Incentive
So, I have been asked by the working group members to forward a request to you,
for such a development. Many of them openly suggested that they would
contribute financially for this development.
The companies that actively participate in this working group of VDA are:
Volkswagen, Ford, BMW, Magna ECS, Siemens, Dassault Systems, Prostep, HBM,
Altair and BETA CAE Systems.
The group's next meeting is on *May 27th 2020*.
Some reponse by that time would be welcome, or I could arrange for your
participation to assess their intention.
