XSD to XML (Sample)

Generate a sample XML instance from an XSD — every element once, values that fit the type.

Worked example

Input
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="order">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="id" type="xs:integer"/>
        <xs:element name="placed" type="xs:date"/>
      </xs:sequence>
      <xs:attribute name="currency" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<order currency="text">
  <id>1</id>
  <placed>2026-01-31</placed>
</order>

This example is one of XSD to XML (Sample)'s test cases — if the tool stopped producing this output, the build would fail.

Questions

What does the sample contain?
Every declared element once, in schema order, with a value that fits the declared type. Enumerations use their first value, fixed and default values are honoured, and attributes are filled in too.
How are choices and recursion handled?
A choice shows its first branch and says so in a comment — a single sample can't show both. A type that contains itself stops with a comment rather than looping forever.
Will the sample validate against the schema?
Usually, but it is not guaranteed: patterns, numeric ranges, uniqueness and cross-field rules are not enforced by the generator. Run it through a validator before using it as a test payload.
Which schema features are supported?
sequence, all, choice, groups, named and inline complexTypes, simpleType restrictions and enumerations, simpleContent and complexContent extensions, element refs, and attributes. Imports and includes are not fetched — nothing leaves your browser.
