Looks nice but, are you planning to support other XML schema languages like Schematron or Relax NG? I'm asking because XSD is so freaking ugly that I always put my digigloves on before touching it ;-)

A side note for psini who considered the OP being a duplicate: It's not. The version in the code section comes with additional code examples.

    Schematron and Relax NG are a bunch that I like a lot for checking structure.

    Unfortunatly though, neither of these schemas contain enough information for generating the code.

    A way of supporting these would be using them just for validation and not for the actual code generation. But that means you would still need an XSD schema for the code generation.

    I agree that XSD schemas tend to be utterly ugly. Using a graphical aidfor designing the schema helps a lot. Here's a bunch:

  • editix -- freeware
  • Oxygen -- Personal/Academic version below $50
  • XmlSpy -- The best. But runs only on windoz. Around $500 I think.
