[Haskell-cafe] Haskell2Xml - Suggest looking at HXT

[Dmitry Olshansky]

Hi Max, thanks for your suggestion. I also have a "not pretty" code which
used Text.XML.Light and TH. I am going to rewrite it. HXT by my opinion is
too big.
The question is a "requirements". Which correlations exist between Haskell
types and XML-Schema possibilities? How to prepare XML for different Haskell
types? How to generate Haskell types from XML-Schema, which restrictions
in schema could be authomatically modeled in Haskell? And so on...
