Features

• Fast conversion of XML schemas to YANG models.
• Configurable module name, namespace, prefix, and revision.
• Exporting YANG models to file.
• Dynamically creates container, leaf, and list elements.
• Automatically Extracts attributes and their values from XML files and creates YANG objects.
• Adds description and key statements to container and list elements respectively dynamically.

Installation

Requirements

• A modern operating system (macOS, Windows, Linux, or ARM64)
• libxml2 and glib development packages installed
• A C compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, or MSVC)

macOS

1. Install libxml2 and glib using Homebrew:

brew install libxml2 glib

2. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/carolinestanly/xml_to_yang_convertor.git
cd xml_to_yang_convertor

Windows

1. Install MSYS2.

2. Open MSYS2 terminal and update the package database and base packages:

pacman -Syu

3. Close the terminal and reopen it.

4. Install required libraries:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libxml2 mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2

cd xml_to_yang_convertor

Linux and ARM64

1. Install libxml2 and glib development packages:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libglib2.0-dev

2.Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/carolinestanly/xml_to_yang_convertor.git
cd xml_to_yang_convertor

Compilation

To compile the project using the provided Makefile, run:

make clean
make

Running the convertor

Modify the input and output path. Execute the execute.sh script to run the convertor with the specified input XML file and output directory:

./execute.sh

Configurations

S.No	Name	Description
1	name	Module name of the YANG.Match the YANG module name with the file name to ensure consistency.
2	namespace	An unique identifier for YANG modules.
3	prefix	Short label to reference a YANG module's namespace.
4	revision	The version number assigned to YANG modules to track changes made over time.

Roadmap

• Improved error handling and reporting
• Grouping of the YANG nodes.
• Enable Dual XML Migration followed by YANG Conversion.
• Validates the output yang after conversion
• Compare XSD and XML to enable YANG conversion.
