| <p>This tutorial shows how XML and XML Schemas Definitions (XSD) can be |
| used to generate software. It illustrates how XML files are treated as |
| models, XSDs as meta models and how this integrates with Xpand. This |
| tutorial is an introduction, for in-depth details see <a class="xref" href="xsd_reference.html" title="XSD Adapter"> |
| <i>XSD Adapter</i> |
| </a>.</p> |
