REPO MIGRATED TO https://github.com/moosetechnology/xmi-analyzer
I no longer maintain this project, please follow the link above.
XMI Analyzer is a (prototype) utility assisting in analyzing XMI files.
Sponsored by Synectique
Note that XMI is a subset of XML with rather specific rulues.
- For free-form-ish XML you might be interested in https://github.com/peteruhnak/xml-magritte-generator
- For generic XMI see https://github.com/OpenPonk/xmi
- this project should migrate to use that at some point

load.
Instead of operating on the DOM this tool will generate appropriate classes for the individual node types and will instantiate them from the XMI.
The instantiation includes:
- basic type inference (booleans, numbers, strings, IDREF(s))
- reference resolution
- instead of having string IDs in the DOM, the instances will have proper object references
"get an instance of DOM tree"
"dom := XMLDOMParser parse: FileLocator home asFileReference / 'prog/xmi/examples/smr2.xml'."
dom := XMIAnalyzer sampleStateMachineXmi.
"Generate the necessary classes. Prefix will be added before all generated classes."
XMIAnalyzer createClassesFor: dom prefixed: 'SMX' in: 'MyGeneratedClasses'.
"Create the instances in the generated classes."
instance := XMIAnalyzer createInstanceOf: dom prefixed: 'SMX'.
"Inspect the instance"
instance inspect.
"Apply a simple Mondrian demo visualization (requires Roassal)"
(XMIAnalyzer sampleStateMachineVisualization: instance) open.In-image example is available after running XMIAnalyzer>>exampleStateMachineScenario
Example usage on some XMI:
Original XMI
Generated classes for the tree
Inspecting the instantiated model
Simple Roassal visualization of the content.
