Something like CreateFromDocument or JAXBContext.newInstance?

[mihxil]

If I want to parse XML it seems that I always have to specify the type:

XmlParser().from_string(data, <TYPE>)

In certain cases that would be overly restrictive. IIRC pyxb generates a method like CreateFromDocument, and e.g. in JAXB you can use a JAXBContext which you can configure with the namespaces to recognise.

Als to xsdata generated classes seem to contains sufficient information. Element-name and namespace of the root element generally is enough to know the type to create.

I may be missing something, but I don't see an easy way to accomplish this.

In pyxb you still need to know the module with the generated models right and in jaxb you have to register the types manually beforehand.

The jaxb api seems interesting and easy to implement.

@mihxil give it a try #335, the type in now optional, as long as the models module is already imported the parser should be able to locate the target type.

XmlParser().from_string(data)

I need to add a few more tests and update the docs but its almost there.

Thanks, I'll try.
