The XMLSchemaDefinition class's purpose is to collect all of the elements that go into an XML Schema, to filter out the elements that are repeated (e.g. a restriction such as the "int_cslist" given in the description for XMLSchemaRestriction above may be reported twice to the XMLSchemaDefinition by several attributes that rely upon it), to detect non-identical duplicates that have the same name, and to write out the elements that it has been handed into a single string. The XMLSchemaDefinition is intended to be passed between static functions / non-class-member functions as a container for the XML Schema representations that these functions define. Such functions will always take an XMLSchemaDefinition reference as one of their input parameters. It is perfectly legitimate / recommended for one XML-schema-defining function that relies on a complexType or restriction that it does not itself define to pass its input XMLSchemaDefinition to the function that does define that complexType or restriction.

Detailed Description

The XMLSchemaDefinition class's purpose is to collect all of the elements that go into an XML Schema, to filter out the elements that are repeated (e.g. a restriction such as the "int_cslist" given in the description for XMLSchemaRestriction above may be reported twice to the XMLSchemaDefinition by several attributes that rely upon it), to detect non-identical duplicates that have the same name, and to write out the elements that it has been handed into a single string. The XMLSchemaDefinition is intended to be passed between static functions / non-class-member functions as a container for the XML Schema representations that these functions define. Such functions will always take an XMLSchemaDefinition reference as one of their input parameters. It is perfectly legitimate / recommended for one XML-schema-defining function that relies on a complexType or restriction that it does not itself define to pass its input XMLSchemaDefinition to the function that does define that complexType or restriction.

Returns the full XML schema definition, in XML format.

std::string utility::tag::XMLSchemaDefinition::human_readable_summary	(	std::string const &	component_name = `""`,
		std::string const &	component_type = `""`,
		std::string const &	citation_text = `""`
	)		const

Returns a human-readable summary of the XML schema definition.

SLOW! Must generate the summary for every invocation.

Note: If component_name and component_type are provided, then summary information is only returned for that particular object type. For example, component_name="DeclareBond" and component_type="mover" would return information on the DeclareBond mover. Also note, this function uses raw pointers, unfortunately – the libxml2 functions that I'm calling require it. As such, no premature return statements should be added prior to the xmlFreeDoc and xmlCleanupParser statements at the end of the function.
