I have made an XML Schema - all the code basically - and was wondering if there is a way that the code can generate something like this:

XmlDoc Viewer is a free, XML document viewer application that allows you to open and read XML documents with full ease. It’s pretty lightweight and simple application, with user-friendly interface. It’s pretty lightweight and simple application, with user-friendly interface. Komodo Edit is hands down the best free XML editor available. It includes a lot of great features for HTML and CSS development. Plus, if that isn't enough, you can get extensions for it to add on languages or other helpful features (like special characters). SMS Backup Reader is a utility designed to help you view and export messages from a XML file created by a backup application for Android mobile devices.

If so how can I do it?

The open source command line java application xsdvi creates an interactive diagram in SVG format from an XML Schema Definition. The generated SVG file can be displayed by a modern web browser where the user can expand and collapse the tree by mouse clicking.

Here is an example of a generated diagram

The software can be downloaded from

It can be run as follows (assuming Java is installed and java.exe is in the path):-

Go to the dist/lib folder.
Run the following command java -jar xsdvi.jar <input1.xsd> [<input2.xsd> [<input3.xsd> ..]] [style]

XSD Diagram is free (GNU open license), doesn't need to be built, and gives an interactive diagram.You just open the file and Add the types you want on the (initially blank) diagram.Pretty straight forward.

The Oracle JDeveloper 11g built-in viewer is in my view superior to the one available for Eclipse (which, in addition to other unfavourable comparison points I could only get to install for Indigo but not for Juno). If I am not mistaken Oracle makes the JDeveloper available for free (only requires registration at the OTN).

If you need a simple, more text-oriented documentation of your XSD, check out xs3p - a XSLT stylesheet that will transform your XSD into more readable HTML format. Quite nice, and totally free.

If that's not enough, check out some of the commercial tools out there - I personally prefer the Liquid XML Studio - not as expensive as others, and quite as capable!

On Linux (with mono, available via apt-get on Debian) and Windows:

XSDDiagram (runs on Mono as well)

If you are on Windows I recommend you have a look at:

XMLPad3 from WMHelp or

Both tools are free and both are able to provide similar visualizations as shown in your example.

That picture is generated from a XML Schema editing tool, such as Altova's XMLSpy.

There are a number of XML tools around, all of which will include a Graphical XSD Viewer. I mentioned XML Spy simply because it is the brand leader. Also many general IDEs like Eclipse, Visual Studio and Oracle JDeveloper will be able to do this trick.

Visual Studio 2013 has a pretty cool visualizer built in.

File -> Open -> File pick your .xsd and then drag elements from XML Schema Explorer onto the designer surface.

We offer a tool called DocFlex/XML XSDDoc that allows you to enjoy both things at once:

To have diagram represetation of your XML schema
To have all those diagrams embedded (and hyperlinked) in a highly sophisticated XML schema documentation

The diagrams in fact are generated not by us, but by Altova XMLSpy. We implemented an Integration with XMLSpy (with the full support of all diagram hyperlinks):

Here you can see the full this doc: http://www.filigris.com/docflex-xml/xsddoc/examples/html/XMLSchema/index.html

The whole thing provides a functionality not offered by any single vendor right now on the market!

Some our customers were so impressed that they purchased an extra license for XMLSpy only because of our tool. (That's no joke!)

Currently, we've also implemented similar integrations with other XML editors:

With <oXygen/> XML Editor:

See: http://www.filigris.com/docflex-xml/OxygenXML/demo/html/xslt20/index.html

With Liquid XML Studio:

It also has an indicator light, and a two-year warranty. A budget option: Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type-C Dua
