Xmlpg allows you to describe a binary message protocol in an XML file and then generate source code to parse the messages in one or more programming languages; Java, C++, C#, Objective-C, Python, and JavaScript languages.

For info about the language see XMLPG.md.

Xmlpg was used to auto-generate the initial source code for the PDU's of the following Open DIS projects:

• open-dis-java
• open-dis-cpp
• open-dis-javascript
• open-dis-python
• open-dis-csharp
• open-dis-objectivec

The original XML specification file for Open DIS is DIS2012.xml. This specification file is currently not maintained. Any corrections to the generated Open DIS source code are now being made directly to the downstream projects referenced above.

The XMLPG tool uses the Maven build system, available from Apache.org.

• mvn compile: Compiles the XMLPG program itself

There is a sample script runXmlpg.sh that uses the sample DIS2012.xml spec and will generate output in target/generated-sources/.
