Windows 10: Displays of .xsd Files

By default in Windows 10, if you double-click an XML file in File Explorer, it is displayed in a pretty print format color-coded and indented in Internet Explorer. However, although an XSD has essentially the same format as an XML file, double-clicking it produces the following popup.





I tried using the Windows Command Prompt's assoc command to allow it to be opened as an XML file by specifying:

assoc .xsd=xmlfile

but is still displayed the popup shown above. Is there an application I can use to open an XSD file so that it is pretty printed like XML?

Generate XML from XSD in Java

Visual Studio insists on having an XSD for all XML files to enforce compliance (as well as provide some autocompletion functionality). You should code XSD before creating subsequent XML files based on it.

You can grab Visual Studio Express for free (requires registration) if you want to use it for XML/XSD authoring.


Edit: My bad. I use DTD not schema.

xsd is the schema, xml contains the data conforming to that schema. how can you generate xml from xsd without data ?

 

Generate XML from XSD in Java

Hi,

I'd just want to know, if there is any library out there that has a method that generates an xml file from an xsd file automatically.

I plan to do this instead of creating an xml through code via dom4j's DocumentHelper and addElement(), addElement() shenanigans.
