XSD1.1 Transformations

This is a little collection of XSL Transformations for XML Schemas of the new 1.1 standard. Its aim is to remove or replace XSD 1.1 elements to get a valid XSD 1.0 file. This can be useful if you want to use tools which don't support the new 1.1 standard yet or simply get a faster XSD validation by removing all assertions.

Usage

As of yet there are only simple stylesheets, so you can take any XSLT processor you want, e.g. Apache Xalan:

xalan -in your-v1.1.xsd -xsl remove-asserts/remove-asserts.xsl -out generated-v1.0.xsd

Stylesheets

• remove-asserts: Removes all xs:assert elements. Resulting XSD will be syntactically correct but maybe not semantically any more.
• remove-assertions: Removes all xs:assertion elements. Some simpleType will lose their restrictions.

Todo

• Replace xs:alternative by the actually used type of the XML.
