[stable since 2013] a lib for loading XML Schema Definition (XSD) files ➜ plus, a tool `makepkg` to code-generate from any *.xsd your Go package with all needed `struct`s to readily `xml.Unmarshal()` documents into, based on the XSD's schema definitions. NOT REALLY MAINTAINED FOR YEARS NOW: try the forks if running into issues.

I know this was mentioned in a few other already closed issues, but there's still no LICENSE file, and the README doesn't list a license. While it's clear from the previous issues that you're fine with anyone doing anything, if there is no license actually listed it means it is illegal for people to use this code. (Yes, the law is stupid at times.) Please include a LICENSE file, whatever it is, so that people can legally use this code.

As a side note, while I appreciate the copyright flippancy behind the WTF license that actually makes it harder for some people to use, as they have to get a license approved by corporate lawyers. Generally they've already approved MIT, BSD, and other licenses that are effectively identical to the WTF license, so using WTF actually inhibits reuse. I'd recommend using MIT or BSD instead for an actual license.

(Disclaimer: I used to be Director of Legal Affairs for the Drupal project, and am helping to establish the new Drupal licensing team. I've spent a lot of time dealing with the intricacies of Open Source licensing; I'm speaking from experience and lengthy conversations with copyright attorneys, not just out of my arse.)

Ouff.. abandoned this project long ago. Make a pull request with any README or LICENSE changes desired or required and I'll pull it in, no questions asked..

Crell commented 9 years ago

Abandoned? Hm. That makes me very sad, since I just found it and don't know of an alternative. (I'm trying to generate SVGs programmatically.) Has anyone shown interest in picking it up?

I have been using this project and found it useful, planed to improve it while using it, however, not sure how much time I can allocate aside for other feature requests...
