Re: Turn XML Schema into sample document using XSLT

The XS3P schema documentation stylesheet generates sample instances for 
the schema elements/types. You may look into that and adapt that code, 
but you will need good XSLT experience for that.
There are also tools as Mukul suggested that can do that, in addition to 
Mukul suggestion you have oXygen and Stylus studio.
We implemented this in oXygen using Xerces XML Schema API [1] and I 
think it would be a lot easier to do that than to generate the instance 
with XSLT. Xerces gives you access to a schema model that has all the 
type derivations resolved for instance and you can just walk that model 
and emit to the output the sample instance.
