How to generate OpenAPI specification models from XML examples?

[jnazander]

Suppose I have some API endpoints, written in PHP on server-side, that return XML data. I want to create an OpenAPI specification for them.

Now, I could go and write the entire specification by myself, but since we're developers here and not manual laborers, we should never do anything manually that could be automated.

I know that there is "Swagger Inspector" that claims to generate the specifications by taking a specific endpoint URL, but it only generates the request definition, not the response data model. I'm not sure if that's a bug or just not implemented, but this is unacceptable for me.

So, is there any tool that could generate the response data models within Swagger by taking XML data for example? I know that there are tools that convert XML to XSD, so I don't see why doing the same for XML -> Swagger definition would be a problem.

I found one tool that attempts to do that - https://github.com/mszostok/swagger-converter - but it seems abandoned and it's made to convert an entire WADL+XSD specification to Swagger, not just the data models. Is there anything like that?

also loking for tool that allows convert "XSD object model" to "swagger definitions model".
Now I use XSLT, written by hand.

It would be good to have something like that.

This repository is for the spec rather than for new tools, so I'm closing this issue - we have a tools repository that maintains a list of tools you might want to check (see tools.openapis.org)
