SYNOPSISxml2yaml xml-file schema-file(s) >yaml-file
xml2yaml-x xml-file -s schema-files -o yaml-file
DESCRIPTION
Convert an XML message into YAML with the same structure. A schema is
required to enforce the correct syntax, especially for optionally
repeated elements.
Options
You can either specify an XML message filename and one or more schema
filenames as arguments, or use the options.
--xml|-x filename
The file which contains the xml message. A single dash means
"stdin".
--schema|-s filename(s)
This option can be repeated, or the filenames separated by comma's,
if you have more than one schema file to parse. All imported and
included schema components have to be provided explicitly.
--bigints|-b (boolean)
By default, the translation is a little sloppy: Integer types are
defined to support at least 18 digits in XML. However, this is
usually unneccesary large and unreadible in YAML.
--mixed HOW
[1.32] How to treat mixed elements. The default is TEXTUAL. Other
values are "ATTRIBUTES", "XML_STRING", and "STRUCTURAL". More
details about mixed_elements in XML::Compile::Translate::Reader.
--type|-t TYPE
The type of the root element, required if the XML is not namespaceo
qualified, although the schema is. If not specified, the root
element is automatically inspected.
The TYPE notation is "{namespace}localname". Be warned to use
quoting on the UNIX command-line, because curly braces have a
special meaning for the shell.
--output|-o filename
By default (or when the filename is a dash), the output is printed
to stdout.
