Overview
A tool that generates interactive, self-contained HTML documentation from XSD (XML Schema Definition) files, enabling developers to visually explore and navigate complex schema hierarchies used in European mobility data standards.
Key Features:
- No install required: open the web app (e.g., from https://tamtamresearch.github.io/xsd-browser/), drag and drop a single XSD file, a folder of schema files, or a ZIP archive — the schema is rendered instantly in the browser
- Download the result as a fully self-contained HTML file with no external dependencies, or browse it directly in the browser
- Recursively resolves all xsd:import / xsd:include references with automatic namespace prefix handling
- Cross-reference linking between elements, types, and groups, with "Used by" sections showing where each definition appears
- Hash-based navigation (#element-Name, #type-Name, #group-Name) with collapsible, lazy-loaded views and persistent UI state
- CLI (python based) conversion script is available too.
Target Audience
Developers and data modelers working with XSD-based European mobility data standards (DATEX II, NeTEx, SIRI) who need to understand, document, or onboard others to complex schema structures.
Use Cases
Exploring DATEX II, NeTEx, or SIRI schemas interactively without any setup; generating shareable offline documentation from a multi-file XSD set; onboarding new developers to an unfamiliar schema; producing single-file schema docs for distribution alongside a data product.
Additional Information
Processing runs entirely in the browser via WebAssembly (Pyodide) — no data is sent to any server. A command-line version is also available: uv tool install "git+https://github.com/tamtamresearch/xsd-browser.git".
