Convert XSDs to Protos

Question

I have a set of services coupled with whole bunch of XSDs. Clients that use my service use XML and in the future will use protobufs. Is there a tool out there that will convert my XSDs into proto files?

The plan here is to define the interface once using XSD and then autogenerate the protos so that both interfaces remain in sync.

Answer 1

Protomak is a tool dedicated to exactly this task.

The lastest release supports:

• Xsd to Proto files with support for
  • Anonymous types
  • Complex types
  • Inherited complex types

• Maven plugin
• Ant build task
