Hi, all …

I am wondering if someone has done similar and can point me in a  
direction.

In this project, I need to generate test XML documents. And I have  
the XSDs for the XML. So I thought that it would be a simple matter  
of defining test data in YAML, say, suck in the XSD and then spit out  
the XML.

Except it is not at all clear how to do this 🙂

Any thoughts or pointers?

Regards,
