FAQ
Does this tool validate the generated XML against the XSD?
No. It generates a best-effort sample instance based on common XSD constructs; use an XML validator if you need strict validation.
Which XSD features are supported?
Common ones: global elements, named/inline complexType, sequence/all/choice (first option), attributes, and simpleType restrictions with enumerations.
Can it generate multiple items for maxOccurs or unbounded?
To keep output small, it generates a single instance per element even if maxOccurs is greater than 1.
How are values chosen for xs:string, xs:int, xs:boolean, dates, etc.?
It uses deterministic placeholders (e.g., example, 0, false, 2000-01-01) so outputs are predictable.
Does it handle namespaces and qualified elements?
The generator keeps output simple and typically omits namespaces; if your schema requires strict qualification, validate and adjust the instance as needed.
Is my XSD sent to a server?
No. The parsing and generation run locally in your browser (no network calls from the tool).
Why are some optional elements missing?
By default, elements with minOccurs="0" (and non-required attributes) are omitted; enable Include optional to add them.
