NAME

       xml2yaml - convert an XML message with a schema into YAML

SYNOPSIS

        xml2yaml xml-file schema-file(s)  >yaml-file

        xml2yaml -x xml-file -s schema-files -o yaml-file

DESCRIPTION

       Convert an XML message into YAML with the same structure.  A schema is required to enforce the correct
       syntax, especially for optionally repeated elements.

   Options
       You can either specify an XML message filename and one or more schema filenames as arguments, or use the
       options.

       --xml|-x filename
           The file which contains the xml message.  A single dash means "stdin".

       --schema|-s filename(s)
           This  option can be repeated, or the filenames separated by comma's, if you have more than one schema
           file to parse.  All imported and included schema components have to be provided explicitly.

       --bigints|-b  (boolean)
           By default, the translation is a little sloppy: Integer types are defined  to  support  at  least  18
           digits in XML.  However, this is usually unnecessary large and unreadible in YAML.

       --no-keep-root  (boolean)
           Do not include the top node in the output.

       --mixed HOW
           [1.32]  How  to  treat  mixed  elements.   The  default  is  TEXTUAL.  Other values are "ATTRIBUTES",
           "XML_STRING",     and     "STRUCTURAL".      More      details      about      mixed_elements      in
           XML::Compile::Translate::Reader.

       --type|-t TYPE
           The  type  of  the root element, required if the XML is not namespaceo qualified, although the schema
           is.  If not specified, the root element is automatically inspected.

           The TYPE notation is "{namespace}localname".  Be warned to use  quoting  on  the  UNIX  command-line,
           because curly braces have a special meaning for the shell.

       --output|-o filename
           By default (or when the filename is a dash), the output is printed to stdout.
