How To Install xsd on CentOS 8

xsd is W3C XML schema to C++ data binding compiler

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install xsd on CentOS 8.

What is xsd

CodeSynthesis XSD is an open-source, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to C++ data binding compiler. Provided with an XML instance specification (XML Schema), it generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code. You can then access the data stored in XML using types and functions that semantically correspond to your application domain rather than dealing with intricacies of reading and writing XML.

We can use yum or dnf to install xsd on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install xsd.

Install xsd on CentOS 8 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:
