Below is the list of features that we plan to implement in the future. They are divided into two sections: ones that will likely appear in the forthcoming releases and those that we have no definite time-line for. Send an email to xsd-users@codesynthesis.com if you are interested in a particular feature or would like to suggest one.

Forthcoming Releases

C++/Serializer

• New mapping that will support event-driven XML serialization.

C++/Hybrid

• New mapping that will support hybrid, event-driven/in-memory XML processing.

No Definite Time-line

IDL

• New mapping that will produce CORBA IDL from XML Schema.

IDL/C++

• New co-mapping that will produce C++ parsing/serialization code for the C++ types produced from CORBA IDL.

C++/Tree

• Mapping for xsd:unique, xsd:key, and xsd:keyref.
• Option to select between std::vector and std::list as an underlying sequence type.
• Special attribute in XML Schema definition that would instruct code generators to use a different container type such as associative containers (std::set and std::multiset). This will allow you to construct a light-weight, object-oriented database with XML Schema as a specification language and XML as an underlying representation.
• Make dependency generator.
• Generate typedef instead of inheritance for some cases of inheritance from fundamental types.
• Option to suppress the generation of enum mapping.
• Map arbitrary-length integers to a suitable user-defined types.
• Option to map xsd:long to C++ long instead of long long for 64-bit architectures (can be achieved now with --custom-type).
