ref, complexType in element-tag, documentation in non-leaf-tags

[PiQ99]

Hey,

at first I have to say, I like your work. It is a great tool that helps me a lot at the moment. In addition I wanted to ask, if you plan further development? There are several things to do I guess.
Of course I saw, you did not commit anything about two months now, but maybe you continued developing at home?

e.g. what about:

• ref-attributes in element-tags
• the documentation-attibute in a complexType (it gets ignored I guess atm?)
• complexTypes in element-tags?

These are several things that do not work atm, afaik, and I wanted to ask, if you are going to fix these things, maybe?

Thanks for your answer and have a nice week!

Yes, the aim is to extend xsd2json step by step. Currently I'm working on the integration of xs:import and xs:include with its multiple schema support.

The best way to get things fixed is to provide some concrete examples. Feel free to open a pull request containing only some test cases in the /test/xsd and /test/json directories. The ref support should not be that hard, xs:documentation and xs:annotation too. What do you mean by your last bullet point?

Current status:

• ref-attributes in element-tags
• the documentation-attibute in a complexType
• complexTypes in element-tags
• complexType extension

@fnogatz I have an xs:complexType that does not appear in the JSON schema. Does that fall under this issue? It looks like this:

    <xs:complexType name="DocumentLineType1Choice">
        <xs:choice>
            <xs:element name="Cd" type="ExternalDocumentLineType1Code"/>
            <xs:element name="Prtry" type="Max35Text"/>
        </xs:choice>
    </xs:complexType>

FYI, I was just looking into this tool since we're interested in a JSON Schema for some of the ISO 20022 messages. They are quite big and complex, so you might be interested in them, perhaps as some kind of benchmark (the conversion took several minutes). This is one of the XSD's, the one that I'm currently looking into:
